珍鳥、冬のカッコウ

Jan. 13, 2015

夏場に2回ほど見たことがありますが、冬に見たのは初めてです。越冬個体なんでしょうか?

It was so incredibly far away that I used a 2× extender and cropped heavily on top of that. ^^;

At first I thought it was a large Japanese Sparrowhawk and raised my binoculars, then realised it was a Common Cuckoo and scrambled to shoot it… ^^;
