🦉 The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)
- Cuculus (lat.) cuckoo
- canorus (lat.) melodic, musical
This bird has earned a bad reputation and is called a nest parasite. It is found in deciduous or mixed forests, as well as meadows near forests. In these places, this bird is mischievous.
Small insectivorous birds will get it from them. As for these photos, I took them with difficulty in a meadow near the river. In these places live yellow wagtails and black-headed stonechats, which every spring become victims of cuckoos.
