That's a super picture you've taken of this cuckoo Jay. Not a species we see coming in too often.

It's great to have such a good view of his back plumage too, so I'm going to upload this picture to The Opus. Many thanks for sharing it with us my friend.

Thank you again Delia. I have many more of this cuckoo but this one seemed to me to capture it in a serene, reflective moment rather than the anxious look they normally show.
