Aussies have form in this kind of thing. Didn’t one of them bowl under arm on the last ball in a match once bowling a pea roller?

Never been known for a cuckoo to return to a nest it’s laid an egg in. It could be another female, and I’ve seen a clip of a cuckoo doing similar to a robins and wood warblers nest. It could be manipulating the redstart to build another nest so she can lay her egg

Take it to a book binder, they’ll restaple them in proper

Meanwhile on the moor, a cuckoo, albeit a shite photo of one ??
-
A very unusual host to use. The cuckoos egg would have been smaller than the mistle thrushes egg. And the steep sides on the nest…would have been a job to push anything over the side. Probably never had one recorded in such a nest
-
Yes, Reed Warblers can reject eggs whereas meadow pipits seem to accept them even though they’ve seen the female cuckoo laying in their nest. Evolution at work. The pipits need to up their game. Hedge sparrows will accept any coloured egg so are good hosts for the CC.

It can take around 8 seconds for the cuckoo to lay her egg. She won’t “buzz “ overhead, but sometimes flies over the moor looking for reactions from the pipits, the idea is to get in and out unseen, although with meadow pipits, that’s a different story as up to 4-5 will attack her as she tries to lay. She’ll watch the host from a hidden vantage point then with a long glide, will land near the nest, find it and lay, or sometimes she will just locate it and check for its suitability as to whether it’s ready for her egg. They’re just starting to lay in pipits nests now ??

I turn the sound down, it’s bad enough listening to the shite commentary but the dramatic music really pisses me off ?
