Hi Sonja,
I've occasionally seen Fan-tailed Cuckoos in woodland patches alongside the
Hume Highway between Albury and Tarcutta during autumn and winter bird
surveys. So I think some Fan-tailed Cuckoos do over-winter in southern
Australia. A good spot in that region to see one in winter is Blue Metal
Reserve near Woomargama.
Kind regards,
Stephen

I took a visiting German out yesterday and think we heard a Fan-tailed
Cuckoo calling near Anglesea Heath. I had thought that they would have
moved north by now, so wonder if some do stay here, or has the warm start
winter delayed its departure? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
