Sunday 29th March

Looking after the kids today so over to Barming Parish Playing Fields at 10:30 to try and wear them out. As I reached the pavilion at the top of the field I heard a Cuckoo calling distantly to the south of me. Quieting the kids down I heard it again, and then on a further 2 occasions. It was carrying across from the other side of the medway valley (East or West Farleigh) and froma slightly different location each time. I spent another 30 minutes over the park but didn't hear it calling again. Spring has sprung!
