Beautiful bird and equally beautiful images Carlo. Superb processing.

I know what you mean about Cuckoos, they don't spend much time out in the open.

Great set, great bird. The only Cuckoos I've ever seen live are on clocks or on Hollywood Blvd.

Great work, Carlo, love the first and the last images the most. I always like the odd poses :)
