First Cuckoo

After the rain of the bank hoilday weekend the sun reappeared today so had a very plesent transect walk at Heartwood Forest only 1 Small White but the birds made up with good numbers of Skylarks singing and Big finch number still with 1 big flock of linnet number i would say at least at 150 which is winter number but the highlight was the cuckoo which i heard from a distance but then landed on one of the trees in the meadow before been chased off by the Skylarks who obvious saw it as a threat.
