COMMON CUCKOO

21-06-2019 Pocklington Canal

I spent an early morning at a hide managed by Mark Hughes. Arriving at 5.30am, we were set up fairly quickly and almost immediately joined by a male and female Cuckoo. During the specified time allowed (1.5-2 hours) two males and one female visited the perches on numerous occasions and a male and female were chasing each other around allowing me to capture a few flight shots. Light was variable and ISOs varied from 640 - 2,000 using my 500mm lens.
