I went up to visit some friends that August (they had a cottage for two weeks).After quite a bit of searching -- the birds had fledged and no one was calling -- we managed to see a couple of the young birds and one adult. They were my first BB Cuckoos seen not on migration. I will have to search my records as to the year -- probably 1988 or 1989.
