So I finally moved into my lovely flat among the treetops all excited to wake up to the call of the cuckoo through the crisp morning air. Um, didn't quite pan out the way I imagined it would.4am:
Cooo.
Ah, the Indian koel, otherwise known as the asiatic cuckoo. How lovely.
Coo-ooo!
Oh look it's really happy. I am happy too.
Coooo-oooo!!!
Im so glad I am in this bed listening to this wonderful koel. Hi koel.

or get an extremely loud alarm- let it go off just next to the window. snooze it every time a bird flies off...
