Blue-Faced Malkoha
The blue-faced Malkoha is a bird of open forests and scrub jungle. Easy to distinguish as its bill is apple green, and it has a naked patch of blue skin surrounding the eye. The sexes are alike. The bird is a non-parasitic Cuckoo found in the scrub and deciduous forests of peninsular India and Sri Lanka. The Blue-faced Malkoha forages in the undergrowth, taking a variety of insects, caterpillars and small vertebrates. It is also called the Small Green-billed Malkoha. This is a new species for me, the first of this year.
