How lucky that you heard a cuckoo in a bluebell wood. Lovely pictures, trees and great clouds too!

What beautiful photos! I also heard a cuckoo a few days ago, and actually saw it too. A first for me! Those bluebells are gorgeous. We don’t get bluebell woods near us, so lovely to see yours. 😃

Beautiful, beautiful! I especially like the curl of the fern in the last picture. When I was in England—many, many years ago—I was thrilled to hear a cuckoo.

It gave us a thrill too – so long since I heard one as they are now in decline.

Looks like a lovely day for a walk. Cool sunny days do seem better than mid-summer.

A splendid saunter. I love the unfurling magic going on in the last photo – it looks like a fantasy creature emerging from the undergrowth.
