The Great Spotted Cuckoo is a very beautiful bird which belongs to the Cuculidae Family.
This bird parasitizes the Corvids’ nests, and particularly those of the Black-billed Magpies.
This one was in the steppes.
The fist day, we see two birds flying together, and two days later, one bird was on the ground, feeding and walking quietly.
It took off when a Black-billed Magpie chased it away from the territory.
This species breeds in Spain and in southern France.
It frequents steppes with scattered trees, mainly Cork Oaks and Olive-trees.
These birds are 1st Summer's birds, with light brown flight feathers.
