Trevor Hampel & Tony Russell have commented on Rufous Songlarks this 
year.  This seems to be an unusual year for them.  I have recorded Rufous 
Songlark for the first time in the dry season at the Argyle Diamond Mine 
near Kununurra in the north east Kimberley of WA.
 They are very common in the early wet season (December to February), but I 
don't have a lot of records outside this period.  This year there have been 
a few calling in June, July and August.
 Pallid Cuckoo is another species that I have recorded more frequently this 
year in the dry season.  This again has been recorded more often in the wet 
season, although I do have some dry season records.
