Lovely capture

Thanks PB. This one was feeding young in the nest, so probably a good time now.

Stunning bird always a jot to see.

That's a beauty Snappy. I've only heard 2 I think this year, and not seen hide nor hair (nor feather) of one

Am sick of the sight of them darn cuckoo's. They seem to be everywhere up here this year...Nice shot though

Not seen or heard one in years. Thanks for reminding me what they look like Snappy.

Thanks PB It's been my best year ever. Seen, heard and photographed more than all the other times combined...
