It came into my head a couple of weeks ago when I heard the Cuckoo. It must be at least fifty years since I last heard it!!

« on: June 01, 2020, 06:02:59 PM »Sadly, the generation that knew every bird and bird song has gone.
It's now left to the ornithologists.
Summer time in my youth in the hills of Donegal. Swallows, skylarks, cuckoos... curlew song every evening, nightjar song at night.
From what I've read, the curlew and nightjar are more or less gone. Cuckoos not far behind them.
Funny heard a cukoo yesterday for the first time in years.
I heard one every morning for the last few weeks not this morning though.
'The Cuckoo comes in April
it sings its song in May.
In the month of June it changes its tune
and in July it flys away.'

I really miss my gallon's on Saturdays and Sundays. I have to admit it though, I feel so much better without it.

I didn't think he was that dirty, cynical maybe and I'm sure he was instructed to be so. He could also play a bit could Norman

He's a fighter is our Boris.
Never fought a thing in his entitled life...
His father is quoted as saying 'he NEARLY took one for the team!'

I’ve no idea what they’re putting up with right now fighting this (and I hope I never find out!), but they’re doing heroic work. I’m not really religious, but God bless them all.
Plus one.
