Bhootanahalli

252. Jacobin CuckooPied Cuckoo, or Pied Crested Cuckoo (Clamator jacobinus
We saw this Pied Cuckoo near the Bhootanahalli Village on the outskirts of the Bannerughatta national park. It was accompanied by his female. After a short burst of rain, he was drying himself in the sun, and was so preoccupied with preening his feathers that he didn't care when I got really close to him.
