Apologies all - late again! Between the public holiday Monday and my day yesterday (which involved a morning giving a talk to a lovely garden club and an afternoon of back to back phone meetings - not so fun) - I am only just catching up on all my to-do list!

This week lets see birds or bird-associated things starting with the letter C...

I had a lovely surprise this afternoon, walking along the river after work. I heard a collossal commotion commencing collectively from a moreton bay fig tree. I realised that a whole host of crazy, cranky, chatterbox noisy miners and callous cowardly crows were causing this collossal calamitous commotion.

Over what? I asked myself

Well, I discovered there were four Channel Billed Cuckoos sitting in different trees, which was prompting the classically cautious crows and unCharitable noisy miners to challenge the Channel-Billed Cuckoos for control of the trees.

Anyway, that's enough of that silliness. :) This was the first time I had seen a Channel-Billed Cuckoo! I was surprised just how large a bird they really are!

Also contributions of a Classy Currawong, a Crazy Noisy Miner, and a Chillaxed Kookaburra.

This sort of counts... and for the Cuckoo topic a while ago.

Found (yet another) new bird for me at Sandy Camp Road Wetlands today - the Brush Cuckoo! (complete with some creepy crawlies for added c-ness)
