The Boxvale Track (At Welby, near Mittagong - on the edge of the Nattai Valley) was very active with birds on Saturday, but the one which surprised me was the Fan-tailed Cuckoo calling actively in the late afternoon.
 
As a migrant species, I was surprised to find it here on 5 July 2008.
COG listers are reporting breeding of Thornbills - they have to get in early before the Cuckoos return. But this Cuckoo has either returned early (or so it seems to me), or did not go away at all.
 
Cheers
