A distinctive looking bunting around 15-16 cms long and found in rocky habitats in parts of Northern, Western and Central India. The bird is rare pretty in much of South India though. They are also found in a large range across China and South Asia as per ebird.
The bird is impossible to miss since the colors are quite unique and distinctive. It prefers rocky terrain and is usually found on the slopes foraging on the ground looking for grain. The female too has a crest though it is much smaller, and the overall body color is a dull olive color.
We were quite excited to see the bird since it is quite rare in our state and there are only a handful of sightings. Luckily, we also got great shots and spent a good time with the bird.
Many thanks in advance for your likes and feedback. Much appreciated.

The chance to witness this unique moment of feeding the Jurenile Common Cuckoo by a couple of Dunnocks !
The gray cuckoo is a strictly insectivorous bird, which feeds mainly on earthworms and caterpillars.
The gray cuckoo being a migratory bird, in winter it leaves towards the south of Africa or South-East Asia.
The female cuckoo spots a nest in which eggs have already been laid and will swallow one to replace it with her egg. Thus, the deceived mother will brood in place of the cuckoo female! When it is born, the young cuckoo will instinctively throw the other eggs out of the nest! This way, the young cuckoo will have all the food it needs to grow!
