Here is my juvenile Cuckoo and its Meadow Pipit host foster parent enjoying a bit of quality family time watching a White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lucorum). I had some lucky timing with this shot as the Pipit had just fed the Cuckoo with a moth and they were both temporarily distracted by this Bumblebee buzzing around. Unusually the Cuckoo hadn't pecked its parent to send it off for more food so I got the interesting shot. The size difference between the Cuckoo and the Pipit is amazing as Cuckoos weigh more than 100g whereas Pipits usually weigh under 20g. You would think that the hapless Pipit might realise that something is amiss when the youngster exceeds five times its own weight.
