I called this fate for meeting this LBC. I turned into the wrong track while trying to make by way to Bay East, Breakwater.

I was actually following the Pied Triller when I spotted this bird thinking it is a Common Iora since it was perched so high up that I cannot see its colour properly except its shape.

When I spotted the stripes at its front, I knew I spotted a cuckoo.

It was such a small bird, size of a Common Iora or Sunbird? Its location was difficult for me to take a good picture, but I guessed it is better than none.

Indeed a very small bird.
During this period, the southern promenade of JLG was nicknamed the Cuckoo land due to a number of cuckoo can be spotted at any one time.

At first, we thought we met another migrant, the flycatcher when we spotted it at first.
It was perched on top of a high tree with very strong backlight. This was the 2nd time we spotted this bird and it was again, another difficult time to catch a good picture of it. Hope there will be a 3rd chance for us.

I was spotting for the small Ashy minevet when my husband asked me what is the species of this bird. I checked with another birder and realised we just met another cuckoo(in addition to 4 existing ones) in this cuckoo land.

Imagine it was perched so high up on a twig. How small it was.
