| Abstract: | On the morning of i 7 July 1993, whilst bird ringing at Rabat, a Cuckoo Cuculus canorus was flushed from the ground and it alighted on some bushes a few metres away fully exposed to us. It acted in the same way on the two occasions that it was flushed, giving the impression that it was either a very tame or an injured bird. Nearby a Cetti's Warbler Cettia cettiwas heard uttering an alarm call continuously and on one occasion it was seen very close to the Cuckoo. |
