Cuckoo

[The Cumbrian]

Swallows nearly 3 weeks late here. I haven't seen a swift yet so they are about a week late already.

[MuswellMetro]

depends whether they fly over spain or italy on way too/from west africa!

if that due to the big bang theory?

 

[The Cumbrian]

How long do cuckoos live for?

Maximum recorded age 6 years 11 months 2 days. This is of course only based on ringing recoveries so the reality could be longer.

 

[The Cumbrian]

if that due to the big bang theory?

Yeah the big bang from the guns in the mediterranean countries.
