Last year cuckoos were heard again in several parts of the Marlborough area – after some years of almost total absence.
Margaret Rose heard her first cuckoo of 2017 in Axford on April 13 at 5.35pm: “I reckon he’s nearly ten days early.”
Please let us know if you have heard a cuckoo earlier in April than Mrs Rose – or heard one somewhere you have not heard one in previous years: info@marlboroughnewsonline.co.uk
