Observation details
Absolutely demented birthday bird thanks to Nick!!! Lethaby never fails to disappoint!! Max and I were walking down and reunited with Nick and Tina, and Nick remarked “I think it’s my birthday not yours!”, and then told us about the cuckoo. I thought there was no way we would refind the bird with this species’s reputation, until I saw a cuckoo shaped bird fly over me and land in an oak right above Wes. I told him to look up and he casually said “oh yeah, that’s it”. Afterwards we had absolutely unreal views of this bird, flying over us a couple times, calling, and sitting up nicely in a sycamore and bare oak. Photos
