The lost cuckoo
















In April I open my bill
In May I sing night and day
In June I change my tune
In July far far I fly
In August away I must


After writing about birdsong the other day it suddenly occurred to me that I don’t think I have heard a cuckoo this year. There usually is at least one if I walk to the station along the other bank of the river away from the main road.
