Masked Lapwing with young; Shining Bronze Cuckoo

["Michael and Janette Lenz" <>]

Here reporting two observations rather late:

Mark Clayton mentioned last week that Masked Lapwings were sitting on a nest.  On 23. July on the way to Tarago I found a Masked Lapwing pair with 2 small runners, probably just a day or two old.

On 27 July 1 Shining Bronze Cuckoo at Botanic Gardens (and also calling a Fantailed Cuckoo, and still 2 Brown Gerygones in the rainforest gully).
