Hi Birders,

Andy Burton is correct when he says that 15 March is a late departure date for Channel-billed Cuckoos particularly for the Sydney Region. Set out below are the departure dates as per the NSW Annual Bird Reports 1990-1997

1990 14/2/90 Normanhurst

1991 16/3/91 Pearl Beach near Umina, a juvenile

1992 11/3/92 Helensburgh, a juvenile

1993 20/3/93 Newcastle

1994 3/3/94 Cordeaux Heights

1995 6/3/95 Austinmer

1996 10/2/96 Mitchell park, Cattai a juvenile

1997 10/3/97 Sawtell, a juvenile

Incidentally, John McLennan at Orangegrove, Woy Woy had a Koel Cuckoo feeding in his persimmon tree today but Koels tend to be later departing than Channel-bills.
