A Common Hawk Cuckoo hunting in the forest
A resident cuckoo bird in the country, also known as the "Brain Fever" bird. These are brood parasites and are getting active now.
Summers are the breeding seasons for many small resident birds in India including Bulbuls, tailorbirds, babblers etc.. These birds eat one of the eggs of the host bird and drop their own egg inside them. I wasn't lucky to get a sighting or shot of another bird feeding a cuckoo chick, but such pictures are plenty from our region.
Shot this in a new forest area that we were exploring - the area was quite active and interesting. But the temperature was bad / very hot, so we couldn't spend much time as we wanted.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback- very much appreciated.
