HI Ed, great stuff..... nice to see you still sharing stuff! I have never seen or heard of an orange footed scrub fowl and I really live the young dollarbird.

Good catch with the female Koel, I have them at home gong off every day at the moment and I am up at Woodgate at the moment and they are very noisy here too! Hey Tassie, don't forget the camera and stay cool LOL

Great stuff Ed. I have not yet seen an image of an Orange-footed Scrubfowl yet and you got young and old. :) Well done mate.
