cuckoo

This Cuckoo was hunting caterpillars from posts at Druiridge Bay in Northumberland in August. I managed to get some great digiscoped shots using my Swarovski 80HD and my trusty old Nikon Coolpix P5100.

Cuckoo Bee (Triepeolus atripes: Apidae) These bees range from 1.0-1.3 cm (0.39-0.51 in) long. Photographed at Camelot Park, Bryan, Brazos County, Texas, USA. Open park with scattered pecan, hackberry and elm trees at ca. 91 m (300 ft) elevation. Post Oak Savannah Vegetational Area. Watered...

My wife & I decided to go for a late afternoon walk, along the coastal path where we live, I decided to take my camera with me, in the hope that a possible migrating bird may be spotted, what a great surprise we got, when this Cuckoo showed up right in front of us, was a wonderful moment...

This young Cuckoo spent a hour with me on Shingle Street beach, perching on a fence about 18ft from myself. coming down to catch grubs sometime at my feet. If he was an adult he would'nt have come with 100 of yards. He finally flew of when a Apache helicopter flew very low right over head.

Work interfered with birding today, but I went out in the 90 + degree heat at noon anyway and found virtually nothing, as the birds had more sense than I do... except for this guy. f6.3 1/60 ISO 500
