Hello you Photographic Folk,
Do you know that the Cuckoo is Germany's bird of the Year 2008. I'm looking for a decent picture to publicise this fact and so far have drawn a blank even with the RSPB among others. They've got good images, but I wouldn't use them without permission. Anybody got a decent cuckoo pic ? Sorry no pay as it's for a no-proft site but full credits etc.

Anyone here have a decent photo of a cuckoo?
Matter of fact, my ex might have one, I'll have our daughter ask him for it.
By the way, here's info about Germany's "Bird of the year":
Rough translation from Wikipedia: Vogel des Jahres (Deutschland)
QUOTE (Wikipedia)
Since 1971 the Naturschutzbund Deutschland eV (NABU), along with its Bavarian partner Association, the Regional Association for the Protection of Birds (LBV), nominates the annual bird of the year. ... The bird of the year is selected according to the threat on their habitat by man. It may happen that the same species is chose repeatedly, such as the white stork in 1984 and 1994.
Rough translation from Wikipedia: Vogel des Jahres (Deutschland)
...from the same page: "Eine Einbindung der Bilder in fremde Webseiten ist grundsätzlich nicht gestattet."
Very knd of both of you to make the effort. I'll contact them anyway an appeal on behalf of the cuckoo..
I particularly like the pic in Natur-Lexicon.

I'll never forget the first time I heard one. Out on a hike I stopped and said to the others, that sounds like a cuckoo clock!
