Following on from these pics, I became more curious about the relationship between a young Koel and some magpies and started following them. And doh, it soon became obvious that Mr and Mrs Magpie were the surrogate parents. It was the Koel chasing the maggies for food, and it was ongoing, all bloody day. So another pic or two. Curiously, just a couple of days ago on a bike ride, came across another koel being fed by a pair of what looked like Wattle birds.
