Another very nice collection John,

That Cuckoo shot is outstanding... is that her nest?

We always enjoy seeing birds from other places around the world,

Thanks for you both for your kind comments, so many looked in without, makes you wonder a little why we bother to share.

Artyman I was reading that the Cuckoo is becoming almost extinct or very rare now in the UK. This lady was passing through here only they don't stay around.

Kenn no not a nest just a stack of recently cut animal feed on a pivot farm. Not very many trees around the farm. BTW Cuckoo's don't build nests the steal from other birds. They lay their eggs and the other bird incubates it. Once born the Cuckoo chick pushes out all the other eggs or chicks so to get all the food for itself.
