Thanks for the Link Elizabeth, great photo by Nigel.
I wonder if it got out of the teapot before it got too big to leave :h?:

I used to have a teapot just like that, (but without the Cuckoo)

Just to put a few minds at rest, the cuckoo chick left the teapot on about the 7th of June and was seen being fed by the foster parents away from the nest site. There should be a photo in the latest issue of Bird watching magazine. I will post some more images of the teapot nest site and cuckoo soon.

It certainly is in Birdwatching Nigel. It has taken up the whole of the inside cover. What a cracking shot it is and it's good to see that the Cuckoo got out ok.

Just think of the poor Robin having to fill that gape.
