I'll just add that I heard a cuckoo on April 17th, in the morning, this year.

 

[Macaroon]

Have a bash at forecasting when he'll arrive here - he hasn't yet, and it's free!......................atb mac

I would, but, sacreligious as it seems, I don't need another knife, so am leaving the comp for others.

May 7th today, did I win?

Bet you forgot alllll about this didn't you Mac? hehehehehehe

 

[Macaroon]

I haven't forgotten...................and you haven't won!............yet!...............Have a look at the entries, if he hears it this evening or tomorrow a.m., I reckon you'd be the closest..................

I just posted an ID querie half an hour ago, something bugging me these past four years, and Shewie got it nailed in minutes; you wanna hope he's not on a run, otherwise it looks like it could be Sat A.M.!

[Biker]

Rats! All the good cuckoos are in bed at this time of night .

Glad you got a result to that thing that was bugging you. All hail Shewie then. errr... I mean :notworthy

 

[Macaroon]

You need Loud cuckoos, not good ones - my neighbour's in his eighties, don't forget!....................atb mac

[Niels]

[ex-member BareThrills]

weekend just gone they woke me on Sunday and Monday morning. Makes a change from woodpeckers

 

[Mesquite]

Heard my first of this year last Sunday morning at 3:30am :yikes:

Find it, bag it and send it overnight postage to near where Macroon lives in SE Wales. Thanks in advance!

 

[Macaroon]

I heard one here on Mayday, but Marcky, my 80-something yr old neighbour didn't - and that's what you need to guess, when will HE first hear it..................He stands at his back gate mornings and evenings and listens out, for the sound of the first cuckoo regulates his garden schedule for the veg planting; and this guy is famous for his fruit and veg!

 

[Macaroon]

Only just clocked Mesquite's post, 3.30 a.m. is way earlier than I've ever heard him, even when sleeping out, that's extraordinary! Although many people think the dawn chorus is at it's peak at midsummer it's actually about now (in a normal year!) so I suppose it's about right......................whenever I hear it, at whatever time, it's always magic!.................atb mac

I'll wade in with 10th May AM - sorry I can't put this in the list but I can't seem to use 'enter' to start new paragraphs at the moment on the site!

 

[Macaroon]

It's ok, loads of people seem to be having trouble with the site at the moment; there's not that many to keep track of..........

Just got a PM from Mesquite... Sorted!

If you are more proactive than me then search 'return problem'.

 

[blacktimberwolf]

Good job we didn't know the that the neighbour in question is as deaf as a post before the comp. ...............might have put a dampner on the whole thing...

Well done to the winner if there is a winner yet, this thread has kinda got a little confused so I'm not sure.

 

[Macaroon]

I didn't say he was deaf as a post - he's just 80-odd.................not sure why you'd be confused, when he hears the bird the closest guess wins, pretty straightforward, eh? atb mac
