Rufous Fantail, southern Vic

["Val Ford" <>]

Hi all

Apologies if you received this message yesterday.  It hasn't turned up in my
Inbox so am assuming it got lost in the ether and am resending with a slight
text clarification.

Saw my first Rufous Fantail for the season at Baldrys Crossing carpark,
Mornington Peninsula, Vic today.  They usually arrive down here at the end
of October so this one was obviously right on schedule.

Expected to see Satin Flycatchers on the Baldrys circuit walk but didn't.
They either haven't arrived yet or were hiding.

However the 'bird of the day' was an adult Fan-tailed Cuckoo with no tail
which when viewed from behind took a few seconds to identify.

Cheers
Val
Sorrento, Vic
