On hearing the first cuckoo in spring .. the thud of a bird hitting the
glass door. Usually it's a Spotted Dove, but today at 9.00 a.m. a
Fantailed Cuckoo was clinging to the cross-bar, stunned and motionless.
I took a couple of poorly focussed photos while Brian walked round the
house to put a tea-towel over it. We put it into a shoebox for an hour
to recuperate in peace and safety. An hour later it was released and
flew off, apparently unharmed.
