EDDIE B 3,112 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Was out digging a few worms this morning, and heard a cuckoo for the first time in years. Not only that, but shortly after, two flew right over my head as i was digging. No more than twenty yards away. Lovely sight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love the call of the cuckoo, makes it even more special that they're only here a few months max, such a distinct and iconic call... You done well to see a couple pal, wonder if they were male and female pairing up.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bell 3,471 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Was up at my bolt hole in the dales yesterday and one flew across the lane and landed on a fence post at the side....about to take a photo on my phone when it shot off to lane on top of a wall 20 foot away where it was joined by a second. Not calling at all but great to see.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do remember reading somewhere, that males often gather up into groups, so could be either i suppose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
