The Common hawk-cuckoo also known as the brain fever bird.
This bird occurs across most of the Indian subcontinent, is arboreal and prefers wooded areas.
At first glance, you may think of it as a Shikra, a raptor, because of its markings, flight and mannerisms. This imitation intimidates other birds, giving it first dibs on the best feeding spots. It's favorite food seems to be hairy caterpillars.
The male has a loud screaming three-note call that rises to a crescendo, and repeats over and over again in a hysterical manner, mostly heard during the summer months, prior to the monsoon. This call has been decoded into various languages, depending on the listener’s culture - in North India, for example, it is interpretated as “peea kahan?”, or “where’s my lover?” uttered with increasing desperation. In the state of Maharastra, it is “paos ala”, a frantic warning that “the rains are coming”. The British, when reigning in India, concluded that this bird chanted “brain fever”.
Like many other cuckoos, this bird is a brood parasite, laying their eggs in nests of babblers.
Rohan Chakravarty, a cartoonist and illustrator, has a wonderful take on this behaviour - see this at www.greenhumour.com/2022/04/brood-parasitism-and-going-cu...

Yellow Brain Fungus / tremella mesenterica. Pioneer Meadows, Derbyshire. 29/01/18.
A pleasing local find growing on a thin fallen Hazel branch.
I had watched this fungus develop over about a week and seized the opportunity to photograph it after a night of heavy rain. Fully hydrated it was at its gelatinous best!
Another marvellously named fungus. I think this is Leafy Brain (Tremella foliacea) as far as I can work out anyway. There are so many closely related species of fungus I’m never 100%
One of the Jelly Fungus family, if I have the identification right it is a fungus that develops and feeds on another fungus in decaying wood.
Nature is amazing!
White Pocket is a dream place for people who take pictures. The way that light and dark play together, especially when the sun is coming up or going down, makes the rocks look even more interesting. It changes all the time so it's always different. The place being far away means not a lot of bright lights at night. This makes it great for taking amazing pictures of the stars.Walking in White Pocket is a unique adventure. The place is not big, but it has rough and uneven ground. You need to go very carefully there. There is no set path, so visitors can walk and find the special shapes at their own speed. It's a spot that promotes searching and gives prizes to the inquisitive.The 'brain rocks' or 'cauliflower rocks' are one of White Pocket's most intriguing features.

Ever have one of those days when your brain can't reach you?
Photographer's note: I was not very pleased with how this one turned out due to equipment failure (dead camera batteries during my first attempt), timed street lights, and police. Yes, the police stopped to chat with me since they thought I closed the street myself, but in fact the road blocks were already there. So I had to explain why I was holding a brain under the train tracks. Nothing to see here officers! ;)
One of my biggest struggles with my 365 project is not being able to "perfect" my photographs enough in the allotted time with busy schedules. I'm sure everyone doing a 365 project deals with this common struggle, but it sure takes a toll one one's mental and physical self. Just 26 more days til rest!
