CommentThe mournful call of the Fan-tailed Cuckoo is like an invitation to grab my camera and go looking for him. We have quite a few on our farm and not only do I love the look of them, I love the 'hunt'. Once found, they then to sit still long enough for decent photos. This fellow sat still long enough for me to creep up on him which rewarded me with a very clear set of head-shots. the detail I captured here has highlighted how I've progressed with the understanding of my camera and lens and the combination of aperture/shutter speed/ISO.
