Fan-tailed Cuckoo - Cacomantis flabelliformis
Original oil on stretched canvas 30.5 x 40.6cm (12 x 16in).
In early spring I heard the trilled calls of this Fan-tailed Cuckoo echoing through the bush. Following the musical calls, I eventually spotted the singer perched on a small branch with the sun shining through the trees illuminating the performer like a spotlight. After taking some great reference photos I enjoyed listening in silence for a few minutes and managed to hear the faint calls of a reply coming from somewhere off in the distant bush. I really enjoyed capturing the light and shadow in this painting and when I view this little bird, I can hear its distinct trill calling.
