While at Kellys at around noon today a raptor was perched in one of the dead trees and took off to harass a Lathams Snipe on the gravel island. This looked like a close with the Snipe
holding its lead! I think the raptor was a Brown Goshawk.
 Back at home we were visited by a young cuckoo. I think it was Brush Cuckoo.  It appeared to be getting attention from a female Rufous Whistler - a fair bit of squeaking back and forth - but I didn't actually see food transferred between the birds. However: HANZAB does not include Rufous Whistler as a known host of Brush Cuckoo. Martin Butterfield
