Harvesting a field of wheat This is the first time I have ever seen wheat harvested before the end of June.  In fact not only is it the earliest I have seen wheat harvested, it is the first time I have ever heard a cuckoo after the first harvest.  The following morning I heard a cuckoo call near Wordwell, north of Bury St Edmunds.
