I saw this pair of Shining bronze-Cuckoos near a small dam. I saw the first one at the base of a tree which something white in its mouth, photo two. I was lucky as the bird was heading my way. The bird almost did a hummingbird impersonation as it hovered away from a leaf to pluck something from it before returning to a branch, photo three. I was also fortunate to catch a shot as the bird launched downwards, photo four. One of the birds landed in a small tree directly across from where I was trying to stand motionless with my camera, photos one and five. Neither of the birds seemed that concerned about my presence. Flying just out of reach of me if I had stretched my arm out.
