| This, of course, is our common Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita). |
 |
| This bird (eating a Cricket of the Gryllidae family) is unknown to me. Initially I thought it was the Common Koel, but they don't have the crest. Neither do Australian Cuckoos, so I'm afraid I don't have an identification for it. |
 |
| This I believe is a Channel-billed Cuckoo (Scythrops novaehollandiae). I'm not sure, because these photos of it flying were the only ones I got. It would be quite rare here; I don't remember seeing it before on my walks. |

| When preparing for this post I heard the all too familiar sound of a bird hitting one of our glass doors or windows. This time it was our friendly kookaburra that had had a plunge in the pool, and then hit our glass door when taking off. I went to see what had happened, and he was there, on the ground, slightly dazed. He did recover though, and got back to his wings, and managed to fly off. |
