When I arrived back from a road trip around the area, I spotted this odd looking creature in a nearby tree. It flew like a Cuckoo but didn”t look like any cuckoo I”d ever seen before. After taking a couple of photos, and playing with the idea that it might be a very rare Long-tailed Cuckoo, I decided that I think it is a rare hepatic morph of the Eurasian Cuckoo, and is a colour variation found only in the females.
