Cuckoo over Thurlbear School

Hello, just walking out of the school carpark this afternoon with my son at 15.30 we were amazed to see a Male Cuckoo fly over our heads! Seen to fly on over towards Thurlbear Woods then lost to view. I had a look around for the bird later on in the evening but had no luck finding it again, will try looking around the area in the morning.

This one is a mighty long way ahead of the bunch . . .

Just checked the data in Somerset Birds and the earliest ever recorded arrival was March 2nd, average first arrival date is April 7th.
