Well I've just spent a couple of nights at the C&CC site at St. Neots (lovely setting) - and that's where all the Essex cuckoos have gone - must be a cuckoo convention of some sort.

Heard the cuckoo today in Rinville park, near Oranmore,Co Galway.

This is also a lovely place to park overnight.
Big park and great play area.
Marina and overlooking Galway bay.
Hotel just up the road.

Travelbug, it's more likely it's a Field or Wood Mouse, which has a long tail and pointed face , so can easily be mistaken for a small rat. Nest will be underground beneath an out building or even under patio slabs.

An asylum of cuckoos according to one web source. I rather like that.

Still not heard one but the swifts are back around Nottingham.

Not heard one in ages and then we where on a Rally at Ashton RUFC, Northants , with CCC this weekend and there it was, lovely to hear.

Unlike the Little Owl that didn't shut up all weekend, mainly in the day time, sat in a tree just the other side of the field from us.
