May Day alert

IF Priscilla Douglas in Killearn (Letters, May 2) wants to hear a really early cuckoo, she ought to move north to bonnie Deeside. My wife heard our first cuckoo here on April 26.

As for hearing cuckoos in Killearn on May 1, we were too busy washing our faces in May morning dew to listen for avian calls of any sort.
