Help please

First time I have seen this bird. It was a very cautious bird. I could not get close to it. This was the only shot I got off it before it dissapeared.

Thanks again

It's a type of cuckoo, sorry but I can't help any further.

Definitely does look like a Shining Bronze Cuckoo. Thanks heaps on the quick response to both of you.

Good shot abeleski, not any easy bird to see let alone photograph. Ray

Thanks Ray. You are very right. Very hard bird to get close to. I took this shot from a distance before I tried to get closer to it. Lucky I did as I did not get another chance.

I noticed this is not in the BIBY database. There are other cuckoos but not this one. Is there a reason? Is it because its found in other countries as well?
