[BirdPhotoIndia] Our Honoured Visitor - The Clamator coromandus

The Chestnut-winged Cuckoo, a passage migrant, is spending a few days with us at Calcutta, adding to the rarities that the Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary keeps throwing up. It was photographed by Tapas Chattopadhya a few days ago.
Found it to be quite a trusting bird and beautiful....the first impression is that of a female Paradise Flycatcher - double its size of course. Great morning. Wish my camera was not misbehaving like it has been - there was opportunity for some good shots.
Other birds that showed up were the Brown Fish Owl, Forest Wagtail, Yellow-footed Green Pigeon and Orange-headed Thrush.
