Default Asian Koel

Went out in the pouring rain this morning and only managed to catch this large and noisey bird.

birds like them wait for the ideal temp and/or weather to begin exercising their wings man! kites are not that elusive, just need many hours of patience..

but in a certain area, they tend to appear at strict timings! rain or shine!

raptors.. cool avian creatures huh?
