Looking out my home office window (Katoomba NSW) I can see a very clumsy,
just-fledged Channel-billed Cuckoo being fed by a Pied Currawong. I've been
hearing its persistent begging calls for the past few days. There seem to
have been an extra lot of Channel-bills around this year, a sign of their
ever-increasing range and abundance. Fifteen years ago they were quite
uncommon here in the upper Blue Mountains. Now, I'm regularly getting phone
calls from people asking me what the strange, big, noisy birds are that
have turned up in their garden!

Cheers

Carol
