[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cuckoo - Cuculus canorus
Cuculo - in italian

Cuckoos are blue-grey birds with white, closely barred underparts. Their short wings and long tail are suggestive of a Sparrowhawk, but the wings are clearly pointed more like a falcon. However, their fluttering flight with quick shallow wing-beats is distinctive, mainly because the wings are always held below the horizontal level. Juveniles are usually a dull dark brown, heavily marked with black and with a pale patch on the nape.

Hi Angelo,
Well captured Cuckoo, Cucut in my language catalan... The pose is good, the silhoutte against a neat sky is the ideal placement, and the details of his beautiful plumage are good... TFS, Marta

Bellissima anche questa: grande ripresa.
