Hi!
   I cannot believe the length and number of discussions that have been generated over this Cuckoo.  A bird with the most irritating and monotonous call known, and why anyone in their correct mind would want to know where it can be found so they can listen to it again is beyond me. It is sometimes called the fever bird and according to folk lore supposed to send some people mad.  I can now see some evidence supporting this so called "Old wives tale" with those smitten being commonly called "Cuckoo"!, not without reason I may add!
 
Cheers
Bob Rusk
PS-   Alistair's  syringe al expansion has left me aphonic!   But I agree "I think"!
