Asian Koel with Blackberry

The Asian Koel is quite shy and prefers thick foliage cover of the trees. Endemic to the Indian subcontinent, and South East Asia, the Asian Koel is a brood parasite, laying its eggs in nests of other birds. Asian Koels are largely frugivorous as adults.

The photo was shot on Canon EOS 70D with Canon EF 300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens.

For all the English majors out there scratching their heads over this one:

fru·giv·o·rous
/fro͞oˈjivərəs/
nounZOOLOGY
(of an animal) feeding on fruit.

They have a distinct voice too.
