A wonderful picture Allan. I can't comment on the ID, though... just haven't a clue.

In my eyes it's a juvenile Australian Koel (juvenile Pallid Cuckoo wouldn't be such barred above as this fine Bird).
Nethertheless a great shot
Thanks

Thanks Rudy and I meant Koel as other 1% when I said Coucal. Have just googled for photos of both and it definitely appears you are correct and it is a juvenile Australian Koel.
Regards
Allan
