Staff at the Dali Qinghua Green Peafowl Nature Reserve have recently spotted some greater coucals at the reserve.

The greater coucal is under second-class state protection in China. It is also known as the crow pheasant and is a member of the cuckoo order of birds.

It is a large-sized cuckoo and is a weak flyer that likes to walk around in pairs.
