My GBS site has been the haunt of a very noisy Pallid Cuckoo chick for most of the day.  A few minutes ago it was fed twice by a White-eared Honeyeater which I am assuming was the host.  

However a nearby female Rufous Whistler also appeared to be reacting to the begging calls: according to HANZAB this attraction of innocent bystanders is quite common.  I didn't see the Whistler actually feed the cuckoo.
