Pallid Cuckoo.

Thank you all for your contributions.
For the record Phillip, the reason I made the poll for this year only is because in my experience I have a new least favourite call each year.  2 years ago it would have been Little Corella because at exactly 5.40pm 200+ would fly over making a terrible racket.  Unless you had all the windows and doors shut and spoke up, you couldn't have a conversation!
 
Happy Birding, Christmas and New Year everyone!
Alberta Hayes, Monash.
