Cuckoo was to be heard out the back of the house earlier in the morning approx 8:00am then was seen on the overhead lines later that same morning at about 10:00am

I didn't observe a cuckoo but distinctly heard the call while I was on my usual early morning walk which is always around 7 am.

returning to nest (inhabited for several years now!)

I heard a cuckoo calling at Lady's View outside Killarney on Friday afternoon 4th May.

unsure whether bird was a swallow or a swift seen over Dub 9 at 20.20 hrs.

at midday on 1st May I heard the cuckoo in my garden. it called several times but I have not heard it since. I live on an island, Sherkin Island, in West Cork.
