This is most likely a foolish question but, having said that ... I saw what
I took to be a black faced cuckoo-shrike today in the park. It attracted my
attention because it was doing something that I thought was a bit odd - it
was gliding, seemingly watching for prey on the ground, then flapping
ungainly for a time, then more gliding.

The bird did a large loop and then came back to a prominent perch in a low
tree.

The reason I thought it was odd was because I thought they hunted on the
wing but this bird seemed to be looking for prey on the ground.

Is this odd for this bird or am I just far too inexperienced?

cheers

storm
