[Mel Rice]

Goodness. It'll be another 6 weeks before there are cuckoos here. There are swallows though 

[Sylvia]

We have swallows now but I've never heard a cuckoo here.

North Dorset - all the swallows arrived with the floods last Thursday!  I heard the first cuckoo on Monday and we now have 2 resident on the farm which is lovely to hear.

I posted about cuckoos on the 24th April under the title another first for the year 
I've heard lots since then

Don't forget the rhyme when you hear them!

If you hear a cuckoo, turn over all the coins in your pocket and say;
'Lucky coins now I count thee,
Cuckoo fairy bring me bounty'.
Can't say it's brought me a fortune, but something lovely always turns up not long after the cuckoo's arrive every year

I heard one on 3 May.

Love lapwings my favourite bird

We heard one a few weeks back but last Friday at 16:00 hrs someone turned on the cricket/grasshopper switch. Almost a month late compared to last year.

I've done a lot of work with lapwings - love them, as well as all the other upland waders.  First sign of spring when our curlews come back

we have some skylarks in the field, checking out the hollows and nooks, but sadly no cuckoo. miss that call!

coincidentally - cuckoo arrived here this morning and was cuck-ooing away in the huge line of beech trees at the top of our northern field. Lovely that they are back again, have them every year. Not sure the pipits and dunnocks will be so pleased...:-)))
