Another rainy day but the Cuckoo has returned to home. I had heard one a little while ago at Hammoon, but not one in Child Okeford. I was sitting in my conservatory after dinner and there he was on the electric wires near my house! I opened the door and sure enough I had heard right. He went towards Bere Marsh still cuckooing so hopefully he is here to stay until July.

I’m seeing more wild flowers out in bloom now:

  • Herb Robert
  • Groundsel
  • Vetch (not sure which one yet!)
  • Common Speedwell
