Pacific Koel- Eudynamys orientalis. ( juvenile ) Last year at around the same time and area I did see a juvenil Pacific Köln but could not get a photo of it. Today I noticed a brownish bird , observing it through the living room window feeding on red berries on the neighbors fence. And yes I got some reasonable photos befor it spotted me getting closer and it flew away. That makes you feel good. Australia,Eudynamys orientalis,Geotagged,Pacific koel,Summer Click/tap to enlarge
