REPORTS have come in from across the region about a harbinger of summer - which seems to have arrived just in time for winter. Yes, the call of the cuckoo has been heard in Argyll.
The familiar sound came as a band of cold weather swept the region, bringing hail and snow showers to many parts earlier this week.
First off the mark to report the famous bird call to the Advertiser was Arlene Scott from Tarbert, who heard the cuckoo on Tuesday April 25.
