George and Harry
Met these two chaps on a dreadfully cold day in the Cotswolds on my last trip to England. No idea on the species but they sure do look a pair of characters.
UPDATE: Finally got around to discovering the origin of these funny fellows. Seems they are used to warmer weather ...... Brazillian weather in fact. This is the Guira Cuckoo. One of the most common birds found in Bazil. They usually look much smoother than this so I can only assume that I caught this likely looking pair when they were puffed up against the cold.
regards, Graham

What a cool response! Thanks to all for taking time to comment. Sasha – yes these were shot at Cotswold Park. I’m quite sure they are not locals. From the looks of things I’d guess they were from a warmer climate too :-)
