There was a Cuckoo at BHM near Tower Hide on Thursday 9th. It was pretty elusive, only giving brief views and mostly seen in flight when the trams flushed it. We've also had more waders around recently with the best being a Curlew Sandpiper seen briefly by Ian Mc. The only other wader of much interest was another Wood Sandpiper.
Here's a pic of the Cuckoo but it doesn't have many pixels left. I took this from Island Hide, so it was a few hundred feet away...
That cuckoo is an incredible looking bird. I never realized how long their tail feathers are in comparison to their body. Great photos! Thanks for the share, hope you had a fantastic weekend. Keep up the posts.
