Mulligans- Pallid Cuckoo

[martin butterfield <>]

Both pallid and Fan tailed cuckoos are still being vocal in Carwoola.  WRT Grey Butcherbirds I finally got a breeding record for my GBS site last afternoon with a begging juvenile getting a good serve of cicada delivered by an adult.

A Pallid Cuckoo was singing its heart out at Mulligans Flat (beside the Woolshed) this morning.
On the same tree on the outward and return (30 mins later) walk.




Near the entrance Pine Trees, two Grey Butcherbirds together (both appeared to be adults).
Others seen- two Aus Grebes, 3 Masked Lapwing, 2 Woodduck, several Noisy Miners, several Black-faced Cuckoo Shrikes, an unidentified Woodcreeper, and magpies, currawong, ravens, rosellas (both E and C), ScCockatoos, Kookaburras etc.
