OK, I'll stick my neck out, probably to have it chopped off!! Given that Con
has recently been to Singapore where cage birds are very popular, I'll stick
with our very own Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (an escapee of course) but not
the local race but something from either tropical northern Australia or PNG.
I don't think it is the Yellow-crested Hoopoe as identified by Philip
Veerman as the beak is slightly the wrong shape, nor is it Margaret Leggoe's
"Dawn Harbinger" as that only occurs outside my bedroom window in Kaleen and
calls well before dawn!!

Hi everyone
I thought the avian cognoscenti amongst you might like to have a go at
identifying the bird in the photo.
