		I'm glad to hear there are cuckoos at Sandwell - I'll pop up later in the week and look for them.
		I saw the first this year at Old Hall Marshes, Essex back in May and was then fortunate to see 3 together (!) at RSPB Lakenheath Marshes last Saturday while trying to find the elusive Golden Orioles.
		The cuckoos were calling from all the plantations and then suddenly one came across the marshes and sat in a tree about 50 yards from me. As I approached another 2 flew our of the trees and then all 3 disappeared into the plantation.
