This evening I heard my first cuckoo of summer 2013. Unfortunately not in our garden but about a mile away in the Gorse Field near Hough Mill, Swannington.

I joined the
Coleorton Heritage Group tour of the old coal mines in the area with a guide from the
Swannington Heritage Group who own and care for the land and have restored the mill.
It was a beautiful evening and lovely walking through the spinney of native English trees and wild spring flowers like red campions and lady's smock.
