Hello all,  I heard my first Channel-billed Cuckoo for the year this
morning,they appear to arrive in the Hawkesbury 3-4 weeks later than they
are recorded in Sydney yet we are only 60km to the N/W.
The Pectoral SP still at Pitt Town this morning.

A couple of years ago there was some discussion regarding Ballions Crakes
and their calls, the call recorded on the BOCA taped series being the
recording of a NZ Ballions. Well if anyone as recording equipment there is
a pair at Pitt Town Bottoms Rd Pitt Town which are calling well early
morning. The two calls I am hearing are a single "krek"and the
whirring"chirr" as described in the Pizzey field guides.
