The Cuckoo 2021

[Humble Village Farmer]

Magic,after a long wait this year "finally" heard the cuckoo for the first time,in the usual spot on the north norfolk coast.

Never heard one but the female song is said to be "bubbling". Would that describe the sound?

I used to hear it when Fetching the cows in the morning but not anymore. Last I heard they are in a nature reserve up on the Goss moor

After hearing the first on, for a few years, on May 9th, I heard it again yesterday morning.

Saw it fly over, while I was filling the lamb creeps, last night about 7pm.

You are correct in the "bubbling" sound that does in fact eminate from the female cuckoo.And as an aside I heard my second male cuckoo earlier this a.m. not far from home at all.

This has been a bumper year for hearing & seeing the cuckoo here in Norfolk. I am well pleased with 2022,best year since 2009.
