What bird is this?

[mojo]

This flew into our window this morning. It was being chased by a Currawong. It sat there dazed for 10 minutes before eventually flying off. Sorry about the pic quality.

It's a Koel.

Thanks mate, that looks about right. Not sure that I've ever seen one before.

My mother in law retcons you hear them before it rains. I hear them all the time.

More like a reverse wolf whistle.

Yeah but they get louder and louder like their heads are going to explode. I know which bird it is. And yes I have heard them being called the storm bird because they do it just before a storm cloud lets go

Not usually seen out here so you'd better let someone in the RSPCA know there's one in Thirlmere.
