pheasant coucal odd (to me) location

[Gary Wright <>]

Mike
I was on top of the bird before it flushed-literally from  under my feet. It
basically disappeared, I was leading a group of walkers and it appeared to
be normal size, long tailed coucal, nothing different about it and I didn't
pay it any attention.  It flew downhill, how far and where to, I don't know.
 Nothing about it attracted my attention.
