First cuckoo here was on the 6th April - he's been going non-stop and is now a little hoarse!!!!

The male "cuckoo's" and the female sounds like she's being strangled under water whilst trying

Ahhh, that would explain it!!!!

Thankyou.

We have quite a few Barn Owls too,lot of organic farmers who leave set aside areas where the voles like to live.Still no Cuckoo heard yet.

Cuckoo joins official list of UK's most endangered birds | Environment | The Guardian - I read about this a fortnight ago - sad.

**blackkitty** · 06-06-2009, 09:35 PM

We've had one around for a few weeks, can't remember when I heard it first.
