Cuckoos

I'm staying with my Auntie Vi in the charming village of Cwmgrwfi.
Birds, of course, are a assive part of our everyday lives. Can you remember a day when you didn't see a bird?
This morning I was woken at 4 am (04:00hrs metric) by these nestlings. Even though it looks like a swift's nest I think they might be baby cuckoos.
The nest is actually inside the room- so in addition to being woken at four am I also get liberally splattered with droppings when resting on the bed and on one ocassion I have been attacked by the adult birds.
