But you know what they say about books: one graph halves sales. Bit the same with birding: a few figures and eyes start to glaze.Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-51388951313417082042008-11-14T13:22:00.000+10:002008-11-14T13:22:00.000+10:00Hi Denis,Cuckoos of course eat caterpillars other ...Hi Denis,<BR/><BR/>Cuckoos of course eat caterpillars other birds don't touch. Same large ones are barely bruised, others can get up to eight minutes of thrash and bash and be oozing pulpily from both ends of their hairy skin before being swallowed in a gulp.Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-51481179124940228082008-11-14T10:10:00.000+10:002008-11-14T10:10:00.000+10:00I keep on saying the same thing!

I once watched a Magpie skin a hairy caterpillar, by rubbing its hairs off along a tree root, before eating it. So, I hope your Cuckoo did something similar.<BR/>As for taxonomists, and their name-changes, the less said the better.<BR/>Cheers.<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
