At the moment we are experiencing a marvellous Spring.

How do I know?
Easy - it is warm, every tree, flower and plant is trying to outdo its neighbour - flowers and young green everywhere.
The birds are singing in the trees and there is a bloody cuckoo out there with them, cuckooing its head off !!

This morning it started at 06:00. Obviously I wasn't in bed for very long after it started cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, every five seconds.
When I got up, I decided to shoot it (with the camera, of course) but it was just out of range to make a decent picture.
I was rather surprised at the size of the thing - about the size of a crow.
Whoever has to raise one of those chicks is in for a problem.

I wonder if I can somehow convince my cats to devour the thing chase the bird off, before it starts again tomorrow morning?
