Hi all,
I realise the koel has this one sewn up but if you'd like to vote in the 'most annoying bird call of the year' awards feel free to email me and I'll tally the votes.
I haven't had a koel this year so my nomination was going to be 'baby Galah', however, my local pet shop was selling one and I got to give it a pat, and I fell in love, so the deafening begging noise has been forgiven!  The Indian Mynas I haven't been able to trap outside my window however....
 
Next week I might try to see what bird wins the 'hide and seek' award for most elusive bird of the Canberra region.  The Spangled Drongo perhaps?
 
In a completely unrelated question does anyone know what bird built the nest in the globe inside the National Gallery? 
Please tell me an Indian Myna didnt think up that brilliant aesthetic idea?!
 
Alberta Hayes, Monash.
