Cuckoo egg

[Cragman]

I’ve been watching several 2nd clutches of Meadow Pipit eggs in the hope that the local female Cuckoo might pay one a visit. Well, she did today, taking one of the pipits eggs and laying hers. This female was here two years ago so is at least three years old and last year proved too elusive for me to follow her

Yep, sat out for hours in poor weather watching and listening, but very rewarding
