There are so many great vantage points for viewing the English landscape. I am sure PoE members have their own favourite viewing points which they can recommend. |

As for the Cuckoo I haven't heard it again since so what's happened, has the weather had some kind of detrimental affect? The bird only has until June before it stops singing it's 'cuckoo' tune and before it then flies away, so c'mon Cuckoo where are you? Anybody else heard the Cuckoo yet? |

Plenty Blackbirds around as well as Goldfinch,Coal Tits,Siskins,and Bullfinch,but with all the nice birds we get the bad ones Wood Pigeons,Doves which are a nuisance due to two neighbours feeding them. |

The Cuckoo doesn't stay here long (it does it in the nest and disappears) a bit like some humans eh? lol |
