Stuart!

I love this recording and in all my travels have never got a good
recording of Channel-billed Cuckoos.  And there you are in the middle
of the city at 3 am in your slippers and dressing gown pointing your
microphone out the window to get this raucous racket!!  Wonderful stuff.

This is the link:

Vicki
