You are correct, it is a juvenile Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike and not
too long out of the nest. Peter Marsack will be interested in this photo as he
is doing some illustrations of juvenile birds. I will forward your original
message to him.
Cheers,
Mark

Well, I suppose it was a
juvenile black faced cuckoo shrike that I saw. With all this talk of
cuckoos around, I am beginning to wonder.

This morning there was at least one white-browed woodswallow
at the Namadgi Visitors’ Centre. I saw one, but that was on two
occasions, about 50 metres apart, so it may not have been the same bird.
Also saw a pair of leaden flycatchers, numerous noisy friar
birds with dependent young, a black-faced cuckoo-shrike trying to feed a
juvenile with a large hard beetle which it spat out, and superb fairy wren
feeding a juvenile.
