Pheasant Coucal
Uploaded: October 12, 2009
This one is for Tammy Espino. This bird lives around the timber mill where Tony works, around here they are called Bush Pheasants. The Pheasant Coucal is the only Australian Cuckoo to build it's own nest & that's usually on the ground. They are Sedentary birds. He was spreading his wings getting the last bit of sun for the day. Lens aperture F/5, shutter speed 1/251sec, focal length 76mm, ISO 400, taken at 4pm.
