Usually cuckoos are greyish in colour but they also come in a brown morph. This one of those, sometimes called a rufous cuckoo.

I always use aperture priority and set it for a high shutter speed. With a long lens you are very susceptible to camera shake, even on a tripod. I was using the camera hand-held. _________________ I'd feel lost without my GPS |
