Re: Unknown bird with unusual flight pattern

["Denis Wilson" <>]

Hi Paul

 

This is a suggestion to do with a fairly common bird, which I would think you would be familiar with. But maybe the light was different, or you just noticed something "odd" about the flight, which perhaps confused you.

 

Black-faced Cuckoo Shrikes tend to flap then glide, but from memory it is more like 3 flaps then a glide. But their flight is very distinctive. It always involves loss of altitude, and then they have to gain height again.

 

Cheers
