Comparison with The Dectectorists? That’s high praise indeed from @yolobirder.bsky.social. One of my favourite scenes as well. ☺️ #thecuckooslea #naturewriting

Thoroughly enjoying ‘The Cuckoo’s Lea’ by @drmjwarren.bsky.social, exploring England and its past through the places named after the birds that used to be there. It reminds me of the falconers whistle scene in Detectorists, with its ghostly echoes of the past. Lovely stuff.
