Channel-billed cuckoos

Two dropped into our backyard yesterday. I think they would've stayed if they weren't being attacked by noisy miners

Forgot to show the lovely tail. It looks very pretty fanned out when they fly away

Such a unique bird!  I haven't been fortunate enough to see one yet.  :)

Great shots Kim, not a cute bird by all means. Apparently they can be quite annoying though, that is their call is this correct? The tail feathers are lovely. Hope they come back and visit and are not to bothered by the miners.

You are so very lucky to have seen one up close Kim ...good shots !! I have heard a few here lately, but it may be a bit too early in the season to see them yet.
