Greater Coucal

'The Greater Coucal'

Wow, what a g-n-a-r-l-y bird; built tough with complimentary colors light brown and off-blue. Crow 2.0. I think this species is quite common but nonetheless enjoyable to watch. Serotonin rushes through my head when the Coucal soars. I had a dream once that John Ashcroft performed a song about the Coucal, climaxing with some stranglebation and hara-kiri.

Sighted near Pathumthani in a jungle/rice paddy habitat. 30+cm.

I did not take this picture, I googled it.
