cragman 2,763 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Found a parasitised Meadow Pipits last week. Lovely sight to pull the foliage back to reveal a cuckoos egg among the pipits eggs. I’d been watching this nest hoping a cuckoo would call 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s certainly up there on my most wanted list - a juv Cuckoo at the nest site being fed by host parents - the dream behaviour image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,763 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 But the pipit in this nest has been sitting on her clutch for at least six days before the cuckoo layed, so I’d say the cuckoo chick won’t hatch, it’ll be too far behind the others incubation wise. But you never know. I’m watching another nest on the same moor hoping the cuckoo will visit. If you fancy a trip to photograph any young ones let me know. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, that’s an offer that I certainly wouldn’t refuse, that would be fantastic if she lays and you can find the nest/host parents, I’ll send you a pm - top man, many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry Thanks very much for the kind words Arry but the buildings are paying good money at the moment, if it does stay the way it is then maybe 10 yrs time or so I might be able to move in to wildlife photography/guiding 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
