Wonderful to see chris back again and dave in wales along with other cuckoo,s which will soon be here, I don,t Hear the call of the cuckoo from my home now even thou we have farmland nearby but we do have them Locally In the same farm/Estate land just not so much on the doorstep unless I,m not about when they call which won,t Be often anyway, I don,t like their parasitic nature but they are a part of spring and Its always a pleasure even (More now days) to hear them calling, To know that at least half the population of cuckoo have vanished in the uk Is a big worry and thank goodness we have the people here who are doing research to find out why and not the Least but most the sponsors who are behind this in helping giveing their support.
