• Gallery:Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds#Family : Cuculidae (Cuckoos)
•  Info Yes, I know that this image is a little bit dark and a little bit noisy. But consider the following points:

• The Sumatran ground cuckoo is a critically endangered bird. There are fewer than 250 in the world right now and perhaps as few as 50, and those numbers are thought to be decreasing. It is one of the most endangered species in the world and there was not a single sighting of it for most of the twentieth century.

• It is a ground forager, so even if it were a more common bird, it would be challenging to get a good photo.

• This image is 21 megapixels and is not only the best image of the bird on Commons (indeed, the only one on Commons) but by a long way the best on the internet.
