Moorland Birds and the Cuckoo
It has been a few days since I my last post, its that gardening time of year and that is exactly where Ive been, in the garden. However I managed a couple of evenings out on the local moors and got more shots of a Willow Warbler, a female Stone Chat,good photo's of a Lark and a couple of interesting record shots of a cuckoo being harassed by a Meadow Pipit. I guess the Meadow Pipit has got wise to the Cuckoo' intentions and according to the experts that is one of the reason's for the decline of the Cuckoo in the UK in recent years.The Cuckoo was to far away for good photography but I had to try and grab the moment as walkers were approaching, and they were closer than me.

Well done Sam or Lisa whoever took them. It is always good policy to take the shot rather than let it pass by. I learnt a lesson from the Golden Eagle when I just watched and did not photograph it.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures as always
