Cuckoo Cocoon - Genesis

 Dark, Dull, Dank, Driech (if you are Scottish), Dour and downright Damp but enough about me! That was more or less the weather picture throughout Tuesday which altered little and kept hopes at a very low ebb. But fear not Stout Yeoman as just around one of the bends opposite the Solar Panel fence-line perched a male

CUCKOO

seemingly unperturbed at our approach!
Canon-wise, that was about as good as it got as the now heavier drizzle made camara action difficult, but when at least c3 (and quite likely a fourth) other birds, all female / hepatic type flew out of the woodwork it was a sight never beheld before. As this is all we have to offer for the day the better images / clips are shown in their entirity.

A BRACE

Thought to be an Adult in Display?

While on the way back to Base and over a mile away from that site

but no claims to another Bird, but who knows?
Wrapped up in some powdered wool I guess I'm losing touch.
Don't tell me this is dying, 'cause I ain't changed that much.
The only sound is water drops, I wonder where the hell I am,
Some kind of jam?
Cuckoo Cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?

PS - DRIECH is considered the most iconic word in the whole of the Scottish language!
