A Greater coucal landed a little clumsily in a shrub by the road and ruffled up its feathers. Flying is not best branch of the Greater coucal. When it caught sight of us, it still remained there. While it looked at us in a bit of surprise, I took a series of pictures from a relatively close range. In the side light, the eye shone extra red! I was struck by the fact that this is a really large cuckoo. The body length can reach 47 to 56 cm.
