This is an amazingly lovely piece of writing! I am quite new on here and so happy to have found you, via Radicle. Fascinating! Thank you. Cuckoos seemed to have vanished from South Devon where I live - until I found their refuge on Dartmoor where they *seem plentiful.

Hi Miriam, thanks so much - I'm very glad you enjoyed it! That's interesting about Dartmoor...I've been a few times as I used to live in Somerset but I didn't know it was a Cuckoo hotspot. Sadly, I'm not aware there are any known breeding locations in Pembrokeshire where I'm based, so I'm yet to hear any!

Oh wonderful! Sadly, I can't remember ever having heard one.
