Pheasant Coucal in Dampier

Just saw a Pheasant Coucal (Centropus phasianinus) in the Dampier townsite. This is my second sighting; the first was on the Burrup Peninsula (I got some very poor photographs). It is a very impressive bird, and fairly large as well. Alas, I was not carrying my camera...
