twenty Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 It's hard to believe, but two recently tagged Cuckoos at Loch Katrine, and Loch Arklet in Perthshire, have left our shores and are on their way back to Africa. One was recorded in Northern France, and the other in the Netherlands on their Southerly migration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is amazing 👏 I heard a cuckoo a few times in May and early June but not after then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
