Re: Cuckoo years: good and bad

[Ian Temby <>]

To continue the cuckoo thread:

I saw and heard several Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoos at Werribee, southwest of 
Melbourne, during the last week of August.  On Monday this week, as I cycled to 
work along the Yarra Bike path from Templestowe to the city, a distance of some 
25 km, I heard Shining Bronze, Pallid and Fantailed Cuckoos calling.  Also saw 
two Platypus as I crossed the Yarra.  Not birds, but a bit of a bonus!  I will 
post 
info about my daily birding as I commute at a later date.

Cheers

Ian
