CUCKOO IN NORTH YORKSHIRE - 2021

A challenge this year was to capture video footage of Cuckoo in North Yorkshire I visited a forest next to moorland where Meadow Pipit are nesting and quickly heard the familiar 'Cuckoo' call, I ran up a hill at the edge of the forest with my heavy camera gear and saw a male perched on a high branch, it was windy and I was out of breath so apologies for the shaky video and heavy breathing in the background.
