The Cuckoo is about a month late so does that mean we get an extended summer? Should be 'singing his tune 'till the middle of June and then he flies away'....but he hasn't been here 5 minutes!!! What do you reckon members, a long hot summer? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I think the earliest I ever heard one back home, was the 16th of April. Or was that the earliest I saw a hummingbird over here? Oh well, something like that. So they are late if today was your first day to hear one, Ron. Keep a keen eye out for them, they don't like to be seen, just heard. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Sounds so similar to Peggy's words...... April come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain; May, she will stay, Resting in my arms again June, she´ll change her tune, In restless walks she´ll prowl the night; July, she will fly And give no warning to her flight.
