Cuckoo in flight.

I haven't had time to look for Cuckoos this spring and I don't think I'll be able to either. However, a chance encounter happened this week when we went out for a drive in between working at home. A cuckoo called and flew past us when we were parked up having a cup of coffee. I had my go to lens with me in the boot, I don't have to say what it is now after all the previous blog posts, and I quickly took a few images as the Cuckoo was there and gone in seconds.
I never thought I'd be leaving my 600 prime lens at home on a regular basis but that is the norm now, but I fully understand why I'm doing it when I can casually capture reasonably good images without it.
