I heard my first /ever/ cuckoo on holiday this week!



Wow, that's a cause for celebration! It is a beautiful call... We're
lucky to have them all spring, until (as I understand it) their voices
change.


The last we heard was in Tresco about 13 years ago! It was also the
first we'd heard for a lot longer than that. But to my relief and
delight the tawny owls were calling last night at around 11pm.
