Two Channel-billed cuckoos were flying past the Cook's River bridge at
Arncliffe last Friday (8/8) p.m. A brief sighting only, as I was
in heavy traffic, but there was no mistaking them.

Hi
Birders,I was interested
to hear that Belle says that she can hear a Channel-billed Cuckoo near
her place on the South Coast of NSW. This would be very unusual because
Channel-billed Cuckoos are regular summer migrants in NSW arriving in mid
to late September and departing around February. The Narooma-Bega area
represents their normal southern limit in NSW, so to have one calling dowm
there at present would be unexpected although in recent times I remember
that there was an early South Coast rcord in August. Alan
