This morning a few minutes before 8.00 am I heard what
I'm pretty sure was a Channel-billed Cuckoo. There were just four of the
horrendous screams that make up its call, and it was fairly distant. Didn't hear
it again over the next half hour, but there was a fair bit of currawong calling
going on (which may of course have no relationship whatever to the suspected
CBC).
This was at Kambah, and I think the possible CBC may
have been around the western end of the Gleneagles golf
course.
Not sure what the earliest record of a Channel-billed
Cuckoo is in Canberra but this would have to be fairly early. But I wouldn't
think the number of records would be large enough to show any pattern either.
Keep an ear and eye out.
