Birds Blck-eared Cuckoo

[Ralph]

I was way out bush with an old mate and we went looking for Peregrine Falcons.
Which by the way we did get but I was the only one to get this Black-eared Cuckoo.
I was pleased about this as I have only ever seen them once before so a few more shots would be good.
And this one was a good model as it didn't fly too far when it moved.

He looks sane to me. Maybe they're only cukoo at the top of the hour?
sorry - start again

Nice Image of a cukoo bird! Plenty of feather detail there.

They are a hard one to find for me and I do think maybe the real cuckoo was the one taking the photo's. Thanks for looking.

I'm pretty sure they're only triggered by Cocoa Puffs.

Nice ones Ralph!

You could be right with the trigger of Cocoa Puffs.
I was so happy to see and get a few shots on one after a long time no see.

So I can add those to my suet cake? Definitely would bring a different class of bird.. unless I eat them first!
