There was a Channel-billed Cuckoo perched in a Ficus macrophylla
(Morton Bay Fig) in the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney on Monday 23
November being mobbed by a large number of Pied Currawongs, Australian
Magpies and Noisy Miners. There have been previous records of this
species in the Botanic Gardens.

Driving to work this morning through Glebe I observed a Channel-billed
Cuckoo lazily flapping over the street. One for the record? It is
certainly the first time I have seen one of these in the quite urban
inner-west suburbs of Sydney!
