Détails de l'observation
I was busily photographing the Flycatchers when the male suddenly started making the camera-shutter call, shooting straight above my head to smack a very curious young Cuckoo around the head!!! I think the youngster was drawn in by the constant begging of the Flycatcher babies; being inexperienced itself, it probably hadn't quite gotten the hang of what Cuckoos are supposed to do... and it suffered the consequences of the Flycatcher's retribution, driving it off down the gully!! That being said, for a while it was loitering on the edges of the family scene, and so I managed to get some very, very nice photos of this particularly handsome bird, with the curious, blotchy chest patterning between that of a juvenile and an adult!!
