I think that is a pheasant coucal. They are ground birds that you usually see dodging into hedges and bushes . they make a loud deep whooping noise repetively and sound as if you've got monkeys nearby ! I think that is what it is and I know someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I think it is a female Koel. See post by NormaB 15/12/08 on this forum.
