Hodgson’s Hawk-Cuckoo

9th March 2012, Ayer Itam Dalam, Pulau Pinang

Local Name: Scientific Name: Cuculus fugax It was my second sighting of the  migrant Hodgson’s Hawk Cuckoo and this one appears to be a juvenile.   The narrow  dark penultimate  tail bar can be clearly seen, the feature which differentiates her from the Malaysian Hawk Cuckoo

A  startled Hodgson’s Hawk Cuckoo  flew  across our path onto this tree. The narrow penultimate tail band  differentiates  it from the Malaysian Hawk-Cuckoo. A lifer.
