Last week I asked if anyone had heard the cuckoo yet this year. I certainly haven't heard it in my area. I was delighted when Roger Rudge from Talywaun rang me a few days ago, to let me know that he heard the cuckoo, near his home on Wednesday April 23. This is quite late for the cuckoo, but I am very glad that someone has heard him. It would not be Spring without the cuckoo - and I'm very grateful to Roger Rudge for his telephone call. Incidentally it was he who called me last year when he heard the cuckoo on April 20.
