Horsefield's Bronze Cuckoo

Thanks to my good friend Owen, who identified the bird for me, I now know that this (not very sharp) photo I took at Edwards Point on the weekend, is a young Horsefield's Bronze Cuckoo.I can always trust Owen to know his birds. So here is one from the back, you can see the bronze sheen on his back, and the rufous edged tail:

the second photo shows that there aren't any bars yet:

( apologies for the bad quality , still wanted to share)

I don't think this is bad quality! You've captured the rufous tail, the barred underside and the bronze sheen very well :)

Not bad quality at all, quite good infact so I agree with Taz.

Cheers, Owen.
