For the period starting October it is a good time to go out birding to catch the early migrants from the northern hemisphere. Today I got to see a Banded Bay Cuckoo in Awana Genting. I do not think it will stay long but maybe in passage to lowland forest of peninsula Malaysia.
This is my second time seeing it here in the submontane locale. My usual sighting is in lowland forests like Lanchang Merapoh and Sg Congkak. It did vocalise a bit when I was playing a babbler call. But when I play its call it was not too fond and flew down the ravine and not to be seen. They are solitary birds and do not mix with others but they are quite curious and wary of other birds and humankind. Many birds actually do not like cuckoos especially during nesting time.................
