Common Hawk-Cuckoo

The Common Hawk-Cuckoo (Hierococcyx varius), popularly known as the Brainfever bird, is a medium-sized cuckoo resident in the Indian Subcontinent. It bears a close resemblance to the Shikra, a sparrow hawk, even in its style of flying and landing on a perch. Like many other cuckoos, this species is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in nests of babblers. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 20/10/2021.
