On our travels this year we heard seven cuckoos and one Nightingale. The number of Cuckoos compares with two last year. The only problem was that each managed a few calls and moved on. Meanwhile the nightingale (on the Oxford canal) sang all night and was still going on and off in the day though, when we returned some days later to the same mooring, it had moved on - maybe due to the persistant rain.
