As Mike and I chatted about our respective domestic projects I looked out of the patio door and said "what the **** is that?" It took me 5 secs to process the bird that landed on the tree where my bird feeders hang....." it's a Cuckoo!" I expostulated. Mike nearly spilled his coffee. While I rushed to the room where (yet again!!!!!!!) my camera was nestling, Mike tracked it around the garden. Sadly the blackbirds were harassing it so it kept dodging about. only managed to grab 2 long distant shots and default settings of camera were not conducive to birds....so not 100% sharp and a bit noisy trying to correct this failing. But here you are...a 2024 Cuckoo.......  Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image.

Nice thing to see from the comfort of the house.

Iain wrote:Nice thing to see from the comfort of the house. Yes. It’s the second time I saw one in the garden. The first was 50years ago. Back then I was only just getting interested in birds. I saw this feathery dollop on the lawn surrounded by our cats! Dashed out and grabbed the bird. At first glance I thought it was a bird of prey because it had a huge curved beak. But as I examined it the bird shook its head and its ‘beak’ fell off. It had obviously nose dived in the lawn and grown a mud extension to its beak. Took it to a lady up the coast that rehabilitated injured birds. She couldn’t find anything wrong with it except it was very malnourished. So she fed it up in her outdoor aviary and after a few weeks at the height of the migration period in good weather, she released it. Don’t know if it made it to Africa…never sent her a postcard. Nice to see though…but the blackbirds didn’t like it. Maybe THEY thought it was a bird of prey? How misguided!

Well I didn't have to wait another 50 years. He/She came back this morning and although it perched further away, the lighting was better and I for once had the camera to hand.. Click here to comment on this image.
