I spend two mornings working out how to get close enough to a Cuckoo for a photograph.

Photographing the Cuckoo usually requires concealment. Either in a hide or from a car window. On the first morning I watch from a distance and see the Cuckoo land on a rock three times. On day two I put up a hide close to the rock and get a result. Mike Lane wildlife photography https://www.nature-photography.co.uk/ https://www.buteophotogear.com
