Red-chested cuckoo
For the past four years, starting in spring, this cuckoo calls from dawn to dusk near my house. For the past four years I have been trying to get a decent shot. It taunts me, every single day from spring through summer it taunts me. Either being just out of range or hiding behind foliage. For the past four years I have managed a few terrible photos. This is this years offering!

The Red-chested Cuckoo is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. It is a medium-sized bird, found in Africa south of the Sahara. In Afrikaans, it is known as "Piet-my-vrou", after its call.
