cuckoo behaviour

[Peter Shute <>]

I recall participating in one discussion, and inquired whether the bird hopped 
or walked, but the observer hadn't been able to see.

I have contacted Karen and she has confirmed that in this case the birds were 
walking, not hopping. I assume this is to be expected for a non passerine, but 
there seem to be enough exceptions that one should check.

In the case I observed (at Bronzewing FFR) the bird appeared to be running like 
a pipit, but I couldn't see its legs. I've wondered ever since, so thanks for 
confirming it, Karen.
