Mark the return of Spring by listening out for the Cuckoo!
Help in recording what is for many the distinctive sound of Spring – the call
of the Cuckoo. If you see or hear a Cuckoo please submit your record online.
The Cuckoo is a rapidly declining species Red Listed as a
bird of conservation concern in the UK. They arrive from Africa in April and
May and sing throughout the Spring. They are much more likely to heard than
seen. Their calls are distinctive but can be mistaken for Collared Dove and
Woodpigeon .
More information on the Cuckoo can be found on the Priority
Species of Northern Ireland website.
