Sadly Cuckoos are a little rarer now and I'm glad I finally got a few images in my portfolio but even more delighted to have one in flight.

LOL Adrian... the first one I ever saw (fairly distant) was in flight... and I knew because it called!! ;) I've seen a lot since, but they've been harder and harder to get. Not heard one at all this year.

What a fabulous image this is. One right out of your top drawer!! Well done.

An outstanding, brilliant inflight capture of a bird I've yet to see, Adrian. Good luck in the competition.
