Sadly we don't hear many cuckoos in South East London but we do hear woodpeckers in our local park - just saying!

Yes heard it most early mornings in May in Cornwall.

Just once. Yesterday morning.

I'm in France at the moment and after never hearing a cuckoo (I live in Cheshire) for years have heard multiple cuckoo's in different campsites.

I can’t remember when I last heard one unfortunately - it has been years - but I live in suburbia. I guess that may be why.

I have heard it a few times this year, which is lovely, as I often don’t hear it at all.

I haven’t heard one here in Wiltshire for years but did when on holiday in Ceredigion last week.

There are always a few in various areas around our village. In fact our village's nickname includes "Cuckoo" and there is a central square named after it. (Southern Germany)

Yes, at Sandwich in Kent.

Yes it was here in Scotland. Lovely to hear it.
The Cuckoo comes in April
It sings its song in May
It changes its tune in the middle of June and then it flies away.

First heard them back in May this year around Loch Lomond.

Here in South East Cornwall, we heard it in May. We hadn't heard it for years before that.

Been very active in the Clwydian hills in North Wales.
Have you heard it and where?
