GREAT SPOTTED CUCKOO at Giltar Point, Tenby

After hearing news of a Great Spotted Cuckoo in Tenby (10 miles from my house), I had to see it. Today after school my mum took me down to Giltar Point to see if I could find it. Unfortunately when we arrived the light was fading so there was a possibility that it had gone to roost and would not show. After waiting 10 minutes my hope was fading, but then the stunning adult GREAT SPOTTED CUCKOO flew past me and into a small blackthorn bush. There it stayed, offering fairly good views but still partly obscured by the branches. This and the fading light made it hard to photograph.
