Bugsy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 A Cuckoo flew over our field this morning, clear as a bell. Can this be right in February ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Anglia Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Here in the UK, I've got Bluetits building what appears to be a nest, and Robin, Blacky, Bluetit, Blackcap (I think), and Songthrush are all singing their hearts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Taking a chance on upsetting you Gary, but I think that there has to be a good chance that you are mistaken, cuckoos are one of the later birds to arrive and earliest to leave, sparrowhawk can look similar.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've got a Ring Dove in our eaves which sounds a lot like a cuckoo. I heard it yesterday, and thought "Is that a cuckoo?" But it wasn't. I was also much frighted whilst varnishing a spice cupboard in my shed and a big dog fox jumped onto the roof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mistake at all.Very strange isn't it.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
