Obligatory reporting of first Cuckoo heard this morning in West Oxfordshire, while I was lying abed.

I heard one the same day, but that's in France, quite near the Swiss border, so I'm not sure that 'counts'.

I find the novelty value soon wears off and I have to fight the impulse to go out and throw rocks at the noisy, incessant buggers.
