| | | Cuckoo
Forgive me my excitement but earlier on when I was out in the garden doing the mundane task of getting in the washing I could hear a cuckoo. I knew it was fairly close, a lot closer than usual when all of a sudden the thing flew over my head whilst cuckoo-ing! I had never realised they flew and cuckoo-ed at the same time (how stoopid am I?).
Ross is gutted as he's at his girlfriend's and a cuckoo is one of the birds on his 'to see' list  .

Hi Debbie, Can't blame you for getting excited, I'd be rather excited too 
I never knew they called whilst on the wing either.

How exciting!
I've only seen one, also flying over my head &, like you, didn't realise they flew & cuckooed at the same time so you're not alone!

How brilliant Debbie!!! Though I'd think it cheeky to call you cuckoo as it flew passed

Oh wow, lucky you....
PS I didn't think they could both Cuckoo and fly at the same time. Now that's what I call multi-tasking..... |
