A Fantailed Cuckoo has been singing its head off near our house (next

FC's overwinter regularly around Geelong, especially at Werribee
Treatment Plant. Do they usually start singing this early?

Hullo Russell,
We don't seem to get nearly as many cuckoos as we used to in Ivanhoe
(Vic) 20 years ago, but I have several times heard Fantail Cuckoos
calling in May - not lately though. Presumably preparing to impose
their eggs on Superb Fairywrens and White-browed Scrub-wrens.
