 g'day all, 
  
Just before dawn (5.30am) I thought I heard a
Channel-billed Cuckoo.   
A little later, at the Golf-course I saw a single
C-b C being vigorously chased by several Magpies the full
length of a fairway. 
  
In March last year, at the Golf Course, it took
about 6 Magpies going flat out to feed & bring up 2 young Cuckoos.
 
  
Could it be they were some of the same
Magpies & they did not want to go
through that experience again ? 
  
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW
Queensland. 
  
ps   We are due north of Adelaide and are about an hour behind 
Brisbane's sunrise.
