Theres a kind of cuckoo, a Coucal,
that live around here,
it was panicked by a neighbours dog, today
too fast for me
they are quite large & usually unafraid,
especially when hiding in a tree
here's an echidna, haven't seen it for many months,
perhaps because of a dry spell after last winter
& the Terns are seasonal
- or here in Byron only some of the year.
