Jacobin Cuckoo is nice long-tailed bird
It is great to watch the Jacobin Cuckoo after a long time.I take few shoots when it perched on a bunch of a tree nearby a pond. It belongs from cuculidae family and are commonly found in Africa and Asian subcontinent. Usually they starts move towards India during the month of April.I found saw them 24th of may at Old Malda, West Bengal, India. Hear is one image of Jacobin Cuckoo. They are medium in size, black color and white breasted with a long tail. There are roundish light white color on it's black long tail. Jacobin love to feed little insects and fruits.Locally it known as Bengal chatak. I was very lucky on that day when I watch numbers of Jacobin cuckoo. But four of them flew away from me. Only one perched on a small tree beside the pond, where I waited to shoot pied kingfisher in action.Personally I love Kingfisher most among birds.But I respect all species.Jacobin can fly fast because of their perfect wigs span as per body & long tail.
