Interesting behaviour, nana! ^Q^

I think that is the leftover skin of a water larva, dragonfly or something, after the adult has "hatched"? -O-

Luckily the cuckoo had chosen a dead tree O/\ O/\ You even got the little one ^Q^ ^Q^ It must have been difficult to find :yes:

I have never seen a cuckoo on the ground :shock: (Actually I have never seen a cuckoo if not far away flying lol )

Also with the little bittern you had luck \O \O

Even a bum shot =O:
