Channel-billed Cuckoo
Birdsville, QLD
A single channel-billed cuckoo flew over head, calling, at about 8:30 am this morning.
It was headed in a southwesterly direction and presumably in for a long and probably disappointing flight.

Calling loudly from top of White Beech Tree. Also many Button Quail platelets around in same places that I have often seen Black Breasted Button Quail previously. Lots of trees down at moment makes for some scrambling.
