EDITORS COMMENTS
Oops! Looks like someone's not a fan of surprises! This mischievous Common Cuckoo juvenile is caught red-handed in the act, throwing eggs of a Reed Warbler out of its nest. Talk about being an egg-cellent prankster! In this print captured by Paul van Gaalen in the picturesque Overijssel region of The Netherlands, we witness nature's fascinating mixed-species drama unfold. The audacious cuckoo chick seems determined to make itself at home, even if it means evicting other feathered tenants. With its vibrant plumage and cheeky expression, this young troublemaker steals the spotlight as it showcases some truly unconventional behavior. Who knew that such a cute baby bird could have such devious intentions? But let's not forget about the poor Reed Warbler parents who are left scratching their heads (or feathers) over this unexpected turn of events. Will they ever discover the culprit behind their disappearing eggs? Only time will tell! This extraordinary snapshot serves as a reminder that wildlife never fails to surprise us with its quirks and peculiarities. So next time you stumble upon an empty nest or hear a mysterious call in your backyard, keep an eye out for our feathery friends playing tricks on one another!
