YOU ARE BEING WATCHED BY A SHY, BEDRAGGLED COUCAL

 
 
 
 
Though not presenting a fine feathered fellow, the subject of this series  is believed  to be a Pheasant Coucal, nursed back  to  health  by  one  of the admirable Magnetic Island  female  wildlife carers,  and  released  to  flutter about . Relentless bird chaser  Vallis  stumbled after the elusive Coucal  with  his camera   until  it scampered  away  and  hid  in  a  tree ,  peering  down  at  him. It subsequently made a fleeting  appearance  at  the  Queen  of  the  Jungle's plantation  and  snake   holiday camp .
