as we returned from this morning's dog walk I was aware that the Leaden Flycatchers in my GBS site were making more noise than usual.  then a darkish, striated cuckoo flew off accompanied by by a flycatcher.  After the cuckoo landed a second flycatcher arrived and fed it.  noting the usual host species and the look of the bird I believe the cuckoo was a Brush Cuckoo: they have been around the area this year.

Also there has at last been a good use made of DNA analysis.
