Birders,
I've just returned from a weeks surveying
on the north coast of NSW at a spot about 90km NW of Grafton (trip report to
follow). The cuckoos arrived while we were there, no brush at the start of the
week, but calling by thursday 18th Sept. Channel bills flying south. Fantailed,
Horsfields and Shinning Bronze calling in/near eucalypt plantations. But the
real treat was Little Bronze-Cuckoo (Tick!) which put on a real show for the
playback (just happened to have the tape ready to go), incredible rufous in the
tail...
Cheers
