Cuckoo chick

[Cragman]

I’ve been watching the local cuckoos again this year and found this youngster today in a meadow pipits nest after watching the parent pipit back to the nest with food. It’s several days old so the egg was probably layed 21st/22nd May. Earliest for me, i normally find eggs in early June

Heard one every season over the last five or six seasons some times get a glimpse of him where his mate is, is a mystery to me. Did get a photo of him calling with the mobile one time. Did hear him last week come to think of it, is SURREY.

Listening to a cuckoo the other night and came across this nest; any ideas of the bird of these eggs?

I have a few ideas, and the wife's a birdwatcher with hers, so let's see if anyone can shed light on this please?
