Title: Koel + Magpie　噪鵑與喜鵲
Post by Andrew on May 1^st, 2006, 9:54am

Looking off my patio towards some trees this morning I could see 3 birds in the upper region of one of them. Looking through the binoculars there as a magpie which appeared to be feeding an immature male koel. This bird still had a lot of barring on the wings and the lower end of its tail but the back and head were already turning black. Just to the left was another koel, either female or juvenile and the 3 birds seemed to be a group. I am aware that Koels are reputed to parasitise Common magpie but I had not seen this before.

It is good experience to witness something shown on the documentaries. :)
