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.
