This is an archival post of the various birds I’ve spotted an managed to photograph. My personal bird collection 🙂
Cuckoo
Found this cuckoo at the top of the Kom peak in Western Bulgaria. He notified us with his distinct call and then posed on this route pole for a while. The colour of the pole matches nicely with his eye patch. I didn’t know they hung their wings like this, it’s quite a remarkable posture.
