The first cuckoo
AN EXCITING start to a great day began with the sound of the first cuckoo I've heard in the Borders. Now I just need to keep my eyes peeled for the dove-sized grey bird. Their population is in decline but let's hope this summer visitor manages to lay some eggs. The parasitic bird lays her eggs in the nests of other unsuspecting birds like the Dunnock of which there are plenty around here.
