    Heard one and seen one. About 3 weeks ago walking by the cemetery in Rothwell and a cuckoo flew onto a grave headstone, had a look around and then flew off. Couple of afternoons since then have heard one calling, could, of course, be the same bird I saw.

    Heard and saw my first last Wednesday near Lindholme while I was fishing. A female flew past me, followed by a male, which was smaller.

    Yes I am.
    And that includes all other things including comments relating to football events.
    It’s definitely not one of these which I saw (with a load of other people) last Sunday on Quarry Street in Cudworth.
    First for the Barnsley District.
