Re: A brilliant first for Hartwood!! - Cuckoos!
A good spot! I used to hear and see cuckoos every year in the Pear Tree Lane/Euxton Lane/Empress Way area from when we moved into the area in 1977 until the early 1990's. My last record was of two cuckoos flying over the house and calling on 31 May 1993. Maybe we might hear them again!!
