Me and a mate spent ages looking for these birds in the Harenna forest, Bale Mountains, Ethiopia. We spent a month in the forest here and this was the only time we got a good view of one. We would however hear them every day on a regular basis. They have a very distinctive three note call that is unmistakable. ![DSCF0589.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVUEuoEEw5B8Pwy464dYAFpU8NF8W527FC9MUhap5Wnnj/DSCF0589.jpg) They parasitize about 15 species of small bird where they will lay their eggs in their hosts nest and abandon them to be incubated and raised by their new unknowing foster parents. Here in this forest I think they primarily target the Rüppell's robin-chat.

Excellent! Very happy to spark his interests. I think a love for natural history is one of the greatest gifts that can be bestowed. The cuckoos in the forest sounded ever so slightly different to this one. I have heard it said that the same birds from different regions often have distinctive acents and that some experts can tell you where a bird comes from by its call.
