YB Cuckoo

This Yellow-billed Cuckoo was in my garden on the 17th of October, which is late in cuckoo terms. I would say it was a bit stressed probable from lack of food. When it finally did find a caterpillar it was quite a process to get it de-haired. It ran the caterpillar back and forth through its beak like a sowing machine. Most birds can't eat hairy caterpillars they would die.
