We've got a cuckoo in the garden, not heard one for ages or memory is failing seriously.

I've been hearing one lately although sadly not in my garden. So nice as also not heard one for ages and now they're on the Red list. What is spring without the cuckoo?
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Hers's hoping you will log into the above and report it.
I've not heard a cuckoo for about 5 years.
Done and done - thanks for the link.
I have heard a cuckoo calling in the trees surrounding Sackville House at Hastigrow (its on the S bend just past the Seater Dump road, as you head from Bower towards Wick), each morning I have cycled that way this month (three times I think).
Also on one occasion early this month I heard a cuckoo calling at the edge of Bilbster Forest where it meets Taroul Moss.
Three cuckoos today.
In addition to the two cuckoos I mentioned, this morning I heard another three, all close together. They were located, all in trees, at Ruther House, (Watten), beside Ruther Quarry and North Watten Farm.
Usually the little hill at Ruther catches the wind making it difficult to hear things whilst cycling, but today it was absolutely still. Indeed Loch watten was the proverbial mill pond.
Springwatch announced last night that that particular blog has become the most commented on ever on the BBC! At the time of broadcast, they had over 11,000 comments and more were still coming in at the rate of about 1 a minute.
Proud to say that I'm on the first page at #461 (naturalscotland)
Today I saw a cuckoo for the first time, having heard them for many years. It flew out from a small planting in Dunbeath cuckooing away. It had hardly broken cover before it was mobbed by some small birds.
Heard one in trees just south of Watten a couple of days ago - can't remember the last time I heard one.
