Hi

Pardon my ignorance I have three of these birds visiting my garden. I have seen them for a number of years and normally they are grazing with wood pidgeons and magpies. i have tried to idetify them and the closest i can get is a Cuckoo but i dont see the markings on the breast. I would like your help if possible one nearly took my head of a couple of years ago flying like a bird of prey!
sorry i have had to adjust the picture size.

Many Thanks

Wayne
