Cuculus canorus, commonly known as the Cuckoo, is a fascinating bird species found in various parts of the world. With its distinctive call and unique behavior, this bird never fails to capture our attention. In May, on Thursley Common in Surrey, UK, a Cuckoo was spotted perched gracefully on a branch. Its sleek feathers and alert posture showcased its beauty and adaptability. Similarly, in April in Surrey, England, another Common Cuckoo was seen resting on a gate with an air of confidence. During springtime in Germany, a male Cuckoo displayed its vibrant plumage while soaring through the sky. This elegant flight pattern left spectators awe-inspired by nature's wonders. The sight of this magnificent bird amidst blooming landscapes truly encapsulated the essence of the season. The Cuckoo's life cycle is intriguing as it relies on other birds for reproduction. It cunningly lays its eggs in nests belonging to unsuspecting hosts such as crows, swallows, hawks or even ducks. These diverse foster parents unknowingly raise young cuckoos alongside their own offspring. One captivating image from 1857 depicts Azuma Bridge from Komagatado Temple by Ando Hiroshige—a renowned Japanese artist—showcasing Edo (now Tokyo). Amidst this bustling cityscape lies the hidden charm of nature—the elusive Cuckoo perched delicately nearby. A heartwarming moment occurred when a twelve-day-old chick was discovered nestled within a Reed Warbler nest—an unexpected guest being raised by adoptive parents. This harmonious coexistence between different species highlights nature's ability to surprise us at every turn. Venturing further north to Cairngorms National Park in Scotland during springtime reveals yet another spectacle—a male European Cuckoo displaying its majestic posture against breathtaking mountain scenery. Nature enthusiasts were treated to an unforgettable sight that perfectly embodied resilience and survival instincts.
