Malaysian Hawk-Cuckoo

10th October 2009, Kemensah, Selangor

A lifer: We saw her  a short while after we began walking up the slope from the carpark at IsiRimba. This Malaysian Hawk-Cuckoo (Cuculus fugax) kept still in between the Bamboo leaves when we were observing her  but flew to a more  open branch when she had warmed herself adequately, luckily still within range of our cameras. Too many obstacles in the way to get a clear shot.
