Oh my!!! What a grand time you had with this cuckoo H&J!!! You've got some great detail in there.

I think this is an improvement on your current flight image in The Opus, so I'll upload it to the article shortly.

Ah, now I can see how Janine was able to identify them even in distant flight. They are quite distinctive. Wish I'd known more what they looked like. I feel guilty counting them as "seen" when I couldn't identify them, just had to take Janine's word on the id.
 
Super aerial of this cuckoo.
