Cuckoos!

Just back from a quick lunchtime walk and heard my first cuckoo of the year. I love hearing their return each spring/summer from their over winter in Africa. I don't think I'd recognise one if I saw it, but their call is so well known - sounds like their name!

Cuckoos are on the red list for UK conservation species as their numbers have declined so much.

Be great to know if you have heard any yet :)
