Several shots of the parnets bringing more food. "The only slow motion about the cuckoo's dinner was the photography." Slow motion footage of the Cuckoo being fed. "At length the Cuckoo is reay to fend for itself, getting experience on the common, before setting off to winter in Africa." Birds hopping and flying about in the bushes. | |
