The Spring Chorus!

Who could not be aware of the beautiful birdsong filling the air on these delightful Spring days? I take every opportunity to allow the children to listen and try to identify the different songs as we go on our little walks.On Sunday ,(may 1st) whilst on a cycle near Drumahair I heard the cuckoo call. As I hadn’t heard him in a couple of years, I really wished that I could share this wonderful moment with the little ones as sadly due to continual noise from traffic it is difficult to hear him in our vicinity. I told them the cuckoo story and they learned the old cuckoo poem and maybe if we keep listening and are very lucky  we might him here!
