Juvenile Cuckoo at Little Marlow GP

On 5th July I was notified by Alan Stevens that a juvenile Cuckoo could be seen in a bush at Little Marlow GP. The bush was on the edge of the lake where a reed bed often attracts Reed Warblers to breed.  A Cuckoo fledged from the same vicinity last year but I was away and missed it.
When I arrived I met Graham Smith and we were soon watching the bird as it sat in the bush and was repeatedly fed by it's foster parents.  I managed a few photos and a short video.

The Cuckoo sat still for periods

From time time is would call for food.

The following day the young Cuckoo had moved about 30 metres and was perched fairly high in a tree.  It was hard to see but given away by it's begging calls.  This is probably the last we will see of this bird.
