Hi Con

During our Gooroo survey last Sunday we observed a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo
being fed by a Yellow-rumped Thornbill.  HANZAB records both types of
thornbills with both Shining Bronze and Horsfield's eggs or young, but
suggests that SB-Cs are more likely to parasitise thornbills, with
Horsfield's more often targeting fairy-wrens.

I seem to recall that Buffies were more likely to be the victims of one
sort of local Bronze-Cuckoo and Yellow-rumped Thornbills are more likely
to be the victims of the other sort of Bronze-Cuckoo.

Does anyone know whether this has legs?

regards

Con
