As so few posts about sightings of Cuckoo’s this year, the future looks bleak for them. I haven’t heard one for many years now at just north of Cirencester.

Heard the first one this morning after a couple of years of being cuckooless.

1st swallow on 27th April. House Martins got here at the weekend.

Cuckoo heard every morning for a week or so, and from different directions so suspect more than one!
Still only seen one solitary swallow which didnt hang around though..

I heard one in an evening one day last week and had to ask my son if it was really there - It happened again so we were both really pleased 'cos it must be 5 years since the last time --- Then we realised it was on the telly in the background of "Gentleman Jack" ......!
 
We have not heard a cuckoo down here for maybe 14years ,we had a strange bird which was cockoo size sing a strange song early in the morning in June .. not heard of it since 🤔
