I've just been for my morning stroll

and heard my first Cuckoo of the season.

I understand they are becoming quite scarce and

true enough, I didn't hear any at all last

Spring.

This was quite a nice read ..

Cuckoo

The old Yorkshire saying made me smile ..

"when you hear the cuckoo shout it is time to

plant your tatties out" LoL

Oh, I was a week early then.

Heard my first one of the season on Monday, haven't heard one at all for the last couple of years.

I was staying in Todwick in South Yorkshire, last weekend, and whilst in the beer garden of the hotel there was a cuckoo nearby. Lovely to hear.
