Neither one nor the other

Neither one nor the other (Coracina novaehollandiae)

.... so not a cuckoo nor a shrike, but visually bear similarities to both species I suppose.

They are a lovely looking species that seem to like exposed perches, making them easy to spot when you've got your eye in.

We'd come out into a less dense area of trees when he was spotted.

Not the best of images, but it was a quick grab against the light.

Nicely captured out in the open and I know you said it was normal but it's always great to get a bird to cooperate for image taking ;)

It is a great looking breed for sure Delia. I feel your pain I know our lighting doesn't always cooperate with us to snare the picture as wished but he is something special no doubt. Congrats on catching him.
