fishfish 17 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Well done Kev , that's what it's about ive never seen one in the flesh,hard to imagine a time when they were common! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mad al 146 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yeh it's nice to have seen stuff like that, I moved to here from another part of the county only about twenty miles away, about eight years ago . Until the move though, I'd never seen a Cuckoo in the flesh, I know where they are every year now and what I would really like is to get a shot of one next year..........fingers and everything else crossed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crowhill 6 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 At one time they were plentiful near my home, you'd never forget the sound they made, sadly I haven't heard one for years..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AIRGUNNER 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for the picture first time seeing one to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kvnmcwebn 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for the picture first time seeing one to. my pleasure, I will mention that they are nice looking birds, ive seen them up close a handful of times. They are fast runners on the ground and only seem to fly if your right on top of them. Also they are real masters of camouflage, when startled they disappear in relatively short grass.
