| A little away from the water interesting species such as the quail finch can be found while along the river, black coucal and black-bellied korhaan are common. |
| Unfortunately for the peace of mankind the coucal is not the only cuckoo that lifts up its voice in the night. |
| I have never actually observed it pick anything off a leaf, for the coucal is of a retiring disposition. |
| But for the fact that the brown wings do not match well with the rest of the plumage, I should call the coucal a handsome bird. |
| The nest of the crow-pheasant or coucal is a massive structure, globular in shape, with the entrance at one side. |
| The coucal or crow-pheasant, for example, is divided up into three local races. |
