Yes, there he was loud and clear over Essex. Anyone else heard it yet?
Is it a bird...? Let's hope so!
They've been reported here today too :)

Great news about the Cuckoos as they are so rare now
Love to hear others stating they have heard Cuckoos in your area.

How lovely. I'll be listening out here in Wiltshire. No signs yet.

No doubt it will be a couple of weeks before they get up here to N.Yorks but we will be listening out for them from now on.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Hi Steve and welcome.
Where abouts in Essex did you hear the Cuckoo ? I live near Danbury in Essex, and look forward to hearing one.
Feed The Birds....not the cats!!!!
I know....my spelling's crap !!
Hi Robbo, thanks for the welcome. I live in Tollesbury so I don't think it will be too long before you have them moving West a bit to you!
Good luck with hearing them!

Welcome to the forum:-) A cuckoo! Lucky, lucky you - lovely. I haven't heard one for years:-( I hope you enjoy it here.
Heard my first one of the season, here at the Lodge last week!

Hi Steve
I have heard Cuckoos in Bedford last year but this bird was too far away for a photo
Yet, in Menorca there was one 'Cuckoo' that would call all day every day especially first thing in the morning
I look forward to lots of chats with yourself now and in the future,
