Hi Daisy,
Collared dove is the most likely as they are always getting mistaken for Cuckoo's. |

Probably a Collared Dove. You'd be surprised how often that gets mistaken for Cuckoo.
Cheers,
Adam

Yes agree a Collared Dove is a lot more plausible  |

Where i was working last year at the time the Cuckoo's arrived, according to one person who was working on the outside of the house, he saw three of them all together land in one particular tree just a few yards away from the house, maybe they fly together in small flocks as Swallows do.

Im no expert but we have so many doves where we live & Im sure it wasn't a dove call. Someone else said wood pigeon but once again, I definately know what they sound like. Its a mystery (& definately sounded like a cuckoo!!). Oh well, shame I was the only one to hear it...., (maybe I am going bonkers ha ha) | | | |
