Welcome to the Cuckoo club

Ooh well done - I still haven't heard any yet this year

Not seen or heard one in years. Great one Snappy.

Oh, wow, well done Snappy. Not seen (or heard) one this year yet.... and not even sure I did last year either!

Nice one Snappy. Only had one photo opportunity once and it didn't turn out great

I hadn't, then I found at least 3 at this site. Photo of one perched to follow soon. Funny, I went to a different place the day after and heard more of them. Only managed to get a quarter of one in the frame as flew directly towards me though...

Thanks William I have heard them most years, only seen and photographed them three times previously.

Thanks PB, I was so pleased I couldn't concentrate on any other birds

Hope you get another chance soon Bob.
