On Saturday 25th July we were wlking along th new path by the river which leads to Lin Dyke from the Kingfisher Screen when we heard and saw at least one Cuckoo!
It's the first cuckoo I've heard in many years, and possibly the first I've ever seen- I certainly can't remember having seen one sine I was a kid, if at all. :)
Excellent, I saw one across big hole earlier this year, been hearing them every day pretty much but just one glimpse so well done!
Hi araby
You lucky thing! I haven't heard any Cuckoos this year. However, they were definitely part of my childhood memories - EVERY YEAR. Funnily enough, like you, I don't ever remember seeing one. I live in Essex, where a few have been seen and heard, but not when I was out and about.
On the other hand, I think the Reed Warblers near to where I live are glad that their broods haven't been 'ejected' prematurely from the nests....:)
