It's simply one of those occasions when all you can do is say 'this is it!', and 'only for the record' merely to console oneself. It's the Plaintive Cuckoo (Cacomantis merulinus), if not for its distinctive call, would not have given away its presence.
I could only look hopelessly from afar as it refused to descend or afford a more open view. This bird which is of Least Concern status can be seen in open country areas and forest edge. In fact it has been sighted before in TRK, also from a distance.
Perhaps it's the time of the morning when steady flow of human traffic was not conducive for it to descend but nevertheless it's great to know that it does make occasional appearance in this area.
