Guira Cuckoo

I saw the Cuckoo sitting upright behind the fences, and that’s when I got the idea of framing the cuckoo’s eyes. Seconds later, I realized that was going to be tough. As if in a series of involuntary twitches, the birdie was moving its head in quick spurts. It took a while but I could suddenly notice a pattern to the involuntary twitches – right, slanted left, straight, slanted right. Now, it was just a question of timing the shutter when the birdie’s face turned straight and between the hexagons of the fence.
