8. Euraisian Cuckoo
The Eurasian cuckoo is still widespread
and fairly common, but its populations
have declined a little in recent decades,
especially where its host species have
lost their habitats. New housing, built
over former rough grassland, destroys
nesting sites for the meadow pipit;
draining of wetlands affects the reed
warbler. Intensive farming has reduced
the availability of the cuckoo’s food. The
cuckoo hasn’t, however, suffered from
pesticides commonly used in farms and
forests, perhaps because of the wide
variety of caterpillars it eats.

occurs from lowlands up to 1500m, but mainly
below 700m.[2]
