EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a sneaky lunch date! This print captures the ultimate game of deception in the bird world. Meet RJCB-604, the notorious Cuckoo, and its unsuspecting foster parent, Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilis). In this mixed species family portrait, we witness an incredible act of brood parasitism unfolding right before our eyes. The cheeky Cuckoo chick opens its beak wide, demanding to be fed by its unwitting surrogate mother. Talk about taking advantage of someone's hospitality! The size difference between these two feathered friends is mind-boggling. It's like watching David trying to pass as Goliath! But hey, who needs DNA when you've got a good disguise? This little trickster has mastered the art of mimicry. As they reside in the United Kingdom, it seems that even British birds can't resist a bit of drama and scandalous behavior. Move over Eastenders; this avian soap opera takes center stage! But let's not forget the real star here – R. J. C. B Blewitt! With his keen eye for capturing nature's most intriguing moments, he brings us closer to understanding the wonders and complexities of wildlife parenting. So next time you're feeling mischievous or just want to appreciate some top-notch acting skills in action, gaze upon this remarkable print and marvel at Mother Nature's cunning ways.
