Just noting that I saw a Horsfields Bronze Cuckoo on the east bank of the
Nepean River below the weir at Penrith yesterday 3/6/04 about 11am. There
are abundant hosts in this area such as Superb Fairy Wrens and Little
Thornbills. Also up to six species of finch (zebra, double-bar, chestnut
mannikin, red-browed, goldfinch, nutmeg mannikin). Have also noted plenty of
Fantailed cuckoos from here to Mulgoa over the last three weeks.
For those who have been following the Koel thread I heard one here yesterday
at about 9:30am, called twice. (!)
For those who followed the thread about Ospreys in fresh water, this is the
same area that I referred to that I have seen, and continue to see, an
Osprey (last seen 28/5/2004).
Cheers all,
Steve Brooking
