Greater Coucal, Bangalore

They are large, crow-like with a long tail and coppery brown wings and found in wide range of habitats from jungle to cultivation and urban gardens. They are weak fliers, and are often seen clambering about in vegetation or walking on the ground as they forage for insects, eggs and nestlings of other birds. In some parts of Karnataka they are called as Kembootha. It is always a pleasure to see a skulker pose in the open and in good light!
