    Very nice! Love the outstretched wings and tucked feet. Looks like it might have been a heavy crop?

    Hi Arthur. First thanks for your comment.
    It was pure luck. I was photographing European Bee-eater in a field when appeared this cuckoo. Hunting insects. He stayed on the field around 5 minutes. The photo above came out best.

    Hi Gabi, you certainly captured a great inflight pose, and just love the outspread wings and eye contact. I feel the detail has held up nicely, and if anything, I would maybe lighten the head a touch. I bet you were excited on getting this.
