at least that's what I think it is? Haven't seen one before. He (she?) was sitting in the evening sun.
hope I'm right?

Sorry to take the wind out of your sails M-L but it's a Fan-tailed Cuckoo. That yellow eye ring and a hint of that buff breast is the key.
Cheers, Owen.
Thanks Owen, that was my first thought, but then I changed my mind. Glad to know what it is .

Nice one Marie-Louise. I love these guys' calls! So mournful, sad, yet beautiful at the same time. Can you darken the image a little?
Thanks Akos, I have darkened it as much as I could, it was much brighter before. It never was and never will be a good photo, I only put it up, because I hadn't seen one fron close up before, although I hear them often call in the bush behind us.

Good one Araminta! I'm more interested in cuckoo's after seeing the doco on ABC about the English ones.
