| 説明 | The cuckoo is a dove-sized bird with a blue-grey back, head and chest, and dark barred and white underparts. With their sleek body, long tail, and pointed wings, they are not unlike kestrels or sparrowhawks. Cuckoos are summer visitors and are well-known brood parasites. Instead of building their own nest, the females lay their eggs in other birds’ nests, especially meadow pipits, dunnocks, and reed warblers. When a female cuckoo finds a suitable nest, and the hosts aren’t looking, she removes one of their eggs and lays her own egg in its place. Cuckoo young hatch after just 12 days, and push the hosts’ eggs or babies out of the nest, allowing it to eat all food brought by the host bird. By the time the cuckoo leaves the nest, it is far bigger than the host bird, but the adoptive parent continues to feed the young cuckoo for a further two weeks. With their young being raised by another bird, adult cuckoos are free to leave the UK much earlier. Most leave during June for Africa, where they winter. The young cuckoos leave later on, once they’re fully-fledged.Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated. |
