A spring upwards?

My heart has been lifted over the last few weeks. It’s not often one feels positive about something and it’s purely anecdotal of course. However, I have been bumping into Cuckoos a lot on tours lately. In fact I’ve been hearing and seeing them on almost every ventures outside, in some random places too! I even went out to put rubbish in the bin the other day and one flew over the churchyard opposite. Let’s hope this is the start of a turnaround in the decline of perhaps our most iconic bird.
