Port Elizabeth and the surrounding area is a great place for bird watching
This video of Burchell's Coucal was taken in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on 4th January 2010. Rain was about and this rain bird's call was heard just before this video was taken. As bird lovers know Birchell's Coucal is a very secretaive bird so the chance of this video was a real gift. So often this bird is heard but not seen. I hope the video is enjoyed. My birdbook (The Wildlife of Southern Africa" (Southern Book Publishers, Rivonia, South Africa 1997) says that the bird is "secretive ... but may perch conspiciously". What an accurate description! Seconds later the bird walked into the bush on the right and disappeared.
