Thanks Aaron, I use to live in Townsville 1985-88 and have only been back a couple of times since (once with camera). Last trip got ankle infection so had to hobble everywhere so all these sighting are hard earned. Many aussies from south of Oz are unaware of the Blue-winged kooka, they really take you by surprise when you first see them!
