An addition to some curious tales I've heard recently of very early nest-building and presences of birds which should be absent - presumably related to the generally mild winter and the hazards of migrating into a drought. I was told this morning of two Fan-tailed Cuckoos, called vigorously (and visibly) on Mt Ainslie. My same source (very reliable, as he's an ex-student :-} ) also is sure he heard a Sacred Kingfisher, though didn't see it.

Interesting times.
