Great Britain

Truly a classic among natural history films which vividly depicts the unusual life style of the Cuckoo and includes unique footage of the parent bird actually laying an egg in the nest of a Reed Warbler.
When the young cuckoo hatches it speedily disposes of the other nestlings and unhatched eggs over the side of the nest to meet their fate in the still waters below.
Directed and photographed by veteran film-maker Ted Channell — a true Collector's Item for all natural history enthusiasts.
