I've just heard a cuckoo  Not heard one in the 4 years i've lived here, obviously they're around but i'm not about to hear them, so this was lovely What has been singing and squeaking all day is a male blackbird, he's been at it all day, he'll lose his voice at this rate  There are numerous birds singing constantly here but i don't know all their songs/voices. |

I haven't heard a cuckoo here - there aren't any woods close enough. I'd love to, though! There's a blackbird nesting in the honeysuckle so they're to and fro. |

There's a male and female blackbird here that are talking all day long, i wonder if she's nagging him to get on with things |

I haven't heard a cuckoo here for several years but I always hear one when we are walking in the Yorkshire dales at this time of year.
I have been woken up at 5am every morning this week by a blackbird singing outside. It is a beautiful sound but I do wish he would start a bit later.

Just got back from having a few days hill walking in the Lake District. The cuckoo was calling all day, every day non-stop! When he stopped in the evenings the owls started hooting! Add to this the sheep bleating and cattle mooing it has been a very noisy holiday lol! Very enjoyable though |
