Just wondered, normally our cuckoo is here by now and so far we've not heard him!
Anyone else?

Call yourself a bird watcher? They've been here for weeks. There are three different males calling on the Ouse from Malling up to Offham. Numbers are down, apparantly as their habitat in Southern Africa is disappearing.

He's loud and proud down at the Pells Pond. And the heron has been prowling around the island for the last fews days

Our Cuckoo is definitely not here yet, last year he arrived on the 4th May.... Hope he turns up soon, we miss him!

Sashimi just to let you know why you probably are not a bird watcher. Its the female who calls not the male. Have a good time looking. We heard one about three weeks to a month ago in Danehill. Have you heard a Nightingale yet ? Oh and by the way folks, there is a sqwauking warcus down on Landport. Anybody heard that one yet?
