Cuckoo 2
Canon 40D, Sigma 300-800mm, F10, 1/500 -1/3, iso 200, Tripod Cable Release.

Thanks for all the comments on the last one. It made me have another go to see if I could get one bigger in the frame.

I'm pleased to say that this one is full frame. :wavey:

Extraordinary bird and shot, definately should have a few goes as this must be as rare as hens teeth.

Excellent shot Guy on a bird that's difficult to photograph - full frame as well! You've chosen the perch well and also the day because the blue sky works well as a contrast to the bird. Great sharpness and detail.

Hi Guy,

For a full frame shot - awesome! A photographer's dream! I do prefer your last cuckoo shot to this though!
