Eastern Koel - 2011-07-11 11:01:06

For several years an Eastern Koel (Eudynamys orientalis) has been heard calling, close to my home. Finally I was given the opportunity to photograph him, but this was all he would allow. It is a large Cuckoo, and parasitic in that it lays eggs in other species nests.
