My lifer though it is listed as resident. Sometimes I wonder if this is a migrant since it only appear during the migration season. My #9th cuckoo spotted so far.

It was the size of the Asian Glossy Starling that I doubt it was the cuckoo that everyone was trying to spot.

Only after I zoom in that I realised this was another lifer for me.

Unfortunately, it was a gloomy day with very bad backlight, not able to bring out its colour of its purple. Never mind, at least I got to meet it for the very 1st time.
