Hi Steve


Whereabouts on Mt Majura, it is not a hill I've walked on much?


I went up the track to the summit, entering from Southern end and thought I heard one near the powerlines but when I got there no more calls


Any suggestions


Thanks

I was lucky enough to get close enough to a Brush Cuckoo on Mount Majura today to notice it’s nostrils – circular (as is characteristic of the genus) and protruding from the beak as a short tube. See hbw.com/ibc/1292837.
