CREEPING COUCAL ,LOUD LORIKEETS


Suddenly spotted  fluttering about  and  heard  making its distinctive  "Coop , coop"  or "Book, book"  calls   in  and near  the  Little Darwin thistle and prickle plantation is  the  Coucal, top , also known  as  the   Swamp Pheasant and Swamp Cuckoo . Literally hanging about  are  scores  of  noisy Lorikeets  after  blossoms.
