Common Cuckoo female (Cuculus canorus)_2586

            Found in woodland, heathland, farmland with hedges, marshes with scattered bushes. "COO-koo" song. Calls often in flight and from open perch. 
Long wings and tail, barred belly, rather small bill.Their flight is direct and often low, suggesting a hawk or falcon. Extremely similar in appearance to various other Cuculus cuckoos across its range; note the combination of white vent, staring yellow irises, and overall large size. Lays eggs in nests of other birds, particularly pipits and reed warblers, which raise the young cuckoos.
