    Nope not yet. Heard a Nightjar last time out, but Cuckoo is keeping his head down still.

    Heard a Cuckoo earlier this year but they're not common in these parts (NW Kent).

    Although I must admit they dont seem to be as common down here as they used to be.

    I have only actually seen one once and that was when we were wild camping in Ireland amongst some sand dunes.
