JUST HEARD A CUCKOO!!!

We've all been saying (locally) that they're due...

 

[Nikki]

We had our first one in New Forest on the 8th April?

 

[Lanerboy]

Dont seem to get them in the midlands, well i have never heard them

When i went to France last year there was one in every place i stopped great to hear them

 

[CWH]

When they get settled in they can be seriously irritating - they NEVER stop, day and night, and they tend to be close to the house so they're really rather loud - enough to keep you awake.
Still, I'd rather hear them than not!

 

[Chipster]

We’re near Ashby and usually hear one towards end of April.

Woodpeckers going at it like jackhammers, Cuckoo's usually late April

 

[CWH]

Haven't seen any Woodpeckers here - Green is a very rare vagrant, recorded in 2013; Great Spotted is a rare breeding resident. Used to have 'em all as garden birds in Cornwall.

 

[CazPaul]

We always get them up here on the moors but not heard one yet tnis year.

Still waiting here in Cornwall

Yip, one of them has been rattling away at a tree here every morning around 05:30-06:00 when I'm out with the dug!
You should see the quizzical look on his face (no! the dug not the woodpecker) as he searches the trees to see what the heck is happening.
Our summer resident cuckoos have not returned from their winter break as yet. Wonder if they've been caught by one of the travel bans in place?

Whats your location ? We are waiting for ours to appear but no sign yet

 

[tinks703]

Woodpeckers yes, cuckoo not heard one for at least 15 years in this country. Heard them in France 2009.

 

[movan]

Still waiting for mine.

Funny thing is that they usually announce their arrival when I have just done something silly.. like trip over the spade!!

Isle of Skye, Otter Spotter. (No I'm not here escaping CV, this is my home address.)
Just checked your profile, I see you're in Todmorden - I used to work in Todmorden College! - I sometimes can't believe how small this world is!

And getting smaller, I was on Skye year before last and intend to visit on my grand tour after retirement which has been put back due to lockdown, might as well be paid to sit at home all day as draw from my pension ?
