Abstract

On 12 July 2013 we spotted Greater Coucal at near old veterinary college, Acharya N.G Ranga Agricultural University, Rajenderanagar, Hyderabad 17.325968° N and 78.408926°E (Plate. 1) in the afternoon (14:27 hrs between 14:45 hrs) it was raining. Initially seen a young Common Myna perching on shrub (Latana camera) attacked and severely injured on neck region by Greater Coucal (Fig 1). After enthusiastic observation we realize that it was trying to feed on Myna. So we withdrew to about 10 meters to give it space for taking photographs to document the key observation. After about 10 minutes it felt we were less of a threat and slowly Greater Coucal taken to Myna up the tree to feed. Had great to observe the movements on feeding guild of this bird (Fig 2A and 2B).
