Geoffrey's musings reminded me of a stray thought occasioned by the
larger than usual numbers of Koels lurking visually but not vocally in
Upper Turner this year.

One sighting involved several Koels and a Collared Sparrowhawk in the
same tree at the same time.

Here is my question: 'Why don't cuckoos parasitize raptores?'

regards

Con
