Dava Moor - Cuckoo

With local rain forecast for most of the day, I set off for the north coast and thought I'd check out the lay-by on Dava Moor for Cuckoo, where three had been seen earlier in the week? A inspired hunch but I didn't dare get out of the car! After a bit of shunting which failed to flush him, I had a reasonably clear view in the twiggy shrub he was perched up in.


There were still annoying crossing branches...




Just about the closest I've ever had one and it gives me another goal for the future! An unobstructed view that is!



I even tried a little hand-held video (medium resolution here) ...


A good start to the day!
