Hi,
I saw a bird which was a very dark blue in my back yard on the NSW Central Coast. At first I thought it was a male satin Bowerbird, but when I managed to get a closer look, I saw that it's eyes were red rather than blue.
Anyone care to hazard a guess?
Sounds like a Common Koel (male).

They make a very loud call, often in early mornings.
Cheers
