Australian Koel Eudynamys cyanocephalus
The second largest cuckoo in Australia. A Red Wattlebird was chasing this female and I think it felt what happens when this bird is around :)

Merhaba Fatih,
Bu kuş hakkında hiç bilgim yok fakat, görüntüden oldukça hızlı ve alımlı bir kuş olduğu anlaşılıyor. Sanki bizim guguk kuşlarına benziyor. Herneyse çok güzel bir uçar fotosu olmuş. Emeğine sağlık.

Hi Fatih
What a briliant shot. This is the first shot of a koel in flight that I've ever seen; you were very lucky. Whilst its not perfectly sharp, its still a great post, with all the diagnostic features of the species easy to see.
On a minor note, this species is now regraded as a separate species Australian Koel (Eudynamys cyanocephalus)

These birds drive me nuts with their never ending call day and night. It is very rare to see one in flight though. I've read that they are very lazy parents and lay their eggs in other birds nests for them to raise. The Wattlebird is one of their favourite step parents which may be why it was getting chased away. Whilst it isn't totally in focus I can appreciate that this is a rare sight and you had to be very quick to catch it.
