Hi Barry,
Could possibly have something to do with a food-surplus, several years back
Gavin Goodyear found over 6 cuckoo species in a small park south of Dayboro,
SE Qld, they appeared to be gorging on hairy caterpillars which were
stripping the foliage of a White Cedar.
I managed to 'digiscope' images of Oriental, Brush, Fan-tailed and
Shining-Bronze far better than I have ever before or since, simply because
they seemed to be too full to bother flying a long-distance. If you
encounter them again check to see if any of the trees are 'suffering' a
similar fate.
