Forgot to say - I gather that the cuckoo is on the "Red" list of endangered species. And I know that many here have not seen or heard one for years.

A bit like skylarks - which, luckily, we also hear regularly. I can never listen to "The Lark Ascending" without being transported across the fields to the Downs on a hot, summer's day, with the larks high up in the blue, singing away.
