Two Cuckoos, one fence

[Richard Unsworth]

Captured few days ago here in the Montado.
After mating they hung around for some time but played no no with pose angles. This was the best, and closest I could get.
I like the DOF kinda makes them look together but somewhat indifferent after the action. I like the post angles too!

Hi Rich I guess this was shortly after the previous cuckoos mating shot, the exposure looks a lot better on this one. I like the composition and would consider a tad more sharpening on the e head of the bird on the left.
