First cuckoo

Hello Val,
 In answer to your question on Taglines: some friends who live between Espinas and St Antonin told us on Friday (28th) that they had heard a cuckoo that day. We are still waiting for it here, a few km further north.

We note the date of arrival each year and have found that we usually hear the cuckoo on 29thMarch +/- 3 days. But in some years we have got well into April before hearing one.

Val says With Malc and I with bird song and sightings we both have had to heard or seen it for it to count, are others the same I wonder?
