A large bird with a strong beak, black head, copper/brown wings and tail, and a beige body, seen at the birdbath.

The elusive #Burchells #Coucal. I swear they have eyes in the back of their head. Photographed through dusty windows and flyscreen. There are at least two around, one roosting un the curry tree at the back door. Posing for me: forget!
