Wow those are really nice Carole. Never heard of Pallid Cuckoo but it looks superb. Great shots of the Koel. I saw Common Koel in India and i'm thinking it can't be the same species, but I'll Wiki it.
Sorry you couldn't enter for the book draw and I think it's a bit mean of PUP to limit it to US and UK but I guess they have to have a few rules.
thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
Beautiful pictures of the cuckoo.
