Thanks Alan (aka Blythman)

Thanks Alan for an educational and very enjoyable time this morning at Druridge Pools. I appreciate you allowing me to use your Sigma 150-500mm lens and for spotting the cuckoo, just wish my ability had been equal to the lens

Some (not very good) pics. As Rolf Harris would say "Can you see what it is yet"?

Not bad for first time out with the Sigma & how fab to see a cuckoo!

Nice Stan. Last cuckoo is my favourite. Think we were a bit far away for the first two. Just happy I was able to help, although I was jealous when the cuckoo appeared and you had my lens

I went back for an hour after I dropped you off at home but had no luck. I did go back later this afternoon though and managed to get some photos
