Agree with KC... such great plumage and feather detail there Bill.

There's very few images of this coucal in the Gallery, and there's not a flight picture as yet, so as this one shows open wings and tail, I'll add it to The Opus article shortly.

Many thanks for sharing it with us lad.

Lovely detail and a great behavioural shot.
