Thanks to Bill and Chris. My assumption, possibly wildly in error, was that the immature had to be one year old, and that a cuckoo would only feed its own offspring. Surely it is too early in the season for a Pallid Cuckoo to have an immature (not fledgling) offspring? This would imply that they either return to the same area each year, or they travel as family groups. I'm sure these questions are long since answered, but couldn't find any information to answer this in the general literature I have available. Is the National Photographic Index book on cuckoos the best general work currently available? Cheers, Rob ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// |
