Ann R Hall heard a cuckoo on the 26th of April at National Trust Lanhydrock in Bodmin, Cornwall.
She said, “My husband and I distinctly heard a cuckoo at 5:20 pm when walking in the higher garden of National Trust Lanhydrock House on a glorious sunny blue sky afternoon. A very special first moment for me as in the past it’s been my Mum who has heard the first cuckoo of spring when I have been with her in our garden in Carlyon Bay or on a coastal walk! Truly thrilling and once noted it passed as quickly as a fleeting memory – truly special?!
“NT Lanhydrock has been a special place for my family for at least 5 generations! I was thrilled to hear my first cuckoo of spring ever, together with my husband in the higher garden. So distinctive. Precious moment on such a glorious Cornish sunny blue sky day surrounded by spring’s beauty!??”
Ruth Macritchie heard a cuckoo yesterday in Back on the Isle of Lewis.
She said, “Was walking out the moor yesterday and I heard the first cuckoo of the spring in the trees. Out the same walk today, and I heard and saw the cuckoo. He was perched on a telegraph wire. He sung as I passed out and again when I came back.”
