In the first week of January 2010 a Channel-billed
Cuckoo (CBC) had appeared in my GBS site. It triggered a lot of calling from the
local Koel, in the end the Koel followed/chased {?} the CBC as it left
the area.
This morning a Koel called loudly inside my GBS area (It
had appeared in North Lyneham only a couple of weeks ago for the first
time this season). And shortly afterwards came the excited calls of a CBC from a
group of trees across the road.
The CBC called for about a minute, the Koel had
stopped calling earlier. I failed to see both cuckoos.
