Headed down to Lyde Road after work again today and it paid off with a singing male Cuckoo heard on arrival, a new Yeovil species for me. It sounded distant to the south, so I started to head in the direction of the bird. Before I got far, the bird started singing again, but right next to me! Eventually I got my first flight view as it was mobbed by a couple of jackdaws. The bird was extremely mobile, and showed a few more times throughout the evening. I also had the 2 Canada Geese over again plus a singing Reed Warbler and Garden Warbler (annoying didn't see the latter).
