As a total novice i have no idea what this is. I think it is a baby as the wattle birds were feeding it. I was at Bream Beach on the south coast of NSW
The fact sheet was spot on. It was as if it was the exact bird i had seen. The wattle birds were working feverishly just to keep up a continous food supply and even after it sat in the tree it continued to call for more food.
Female or juvenile Koel.

If the wattlebirds were feeding it, definitely a juv. koel

Real nice photos you have there, TracyK. Koels of any kind are usually extremely difficult to get close to, an frequently lurk right up in the trees!
