CUCKOOS AND DRAGONS

 I've finally caught up with some Cuckoos, there were at least 4 at Buttermilk Hill.

    Having spent two recent mornings at Buttermilk trying for the Cuckoo's, and failing to get any shots, I can really appreciate the great job you did getting these shots, nice work John..

    I understand that cuckoos have declined precipitously in Britain so your sighting is very fortunate indeed.
