Cuckoo

I have only ever seen a cuckoo in Shetland once before and that seems like over 20 years ago. I heard one along the Swinister burn last year but never saw it.
Today however I saw this one on four different occasions along the burn in amongst mainly willows but also on fence and bridge. What I found very interesting was that at all times it was accompanied by the Meadow Pipit in the extra. It was as if the Pipit knew what was going to happen and was making sure it wouldn't happen in its nest. At least that's what I like to think.
