CBC's & Koels dispersal times

["Colin Driscoll" <>]

I've changed the thread title so Angela doesn't get her hopes up of another reply about the snipe.

 

Tom that's an interesting observation about the cuckoos because I have noted the same thing here on the west side of Lake Macquarie. We seem to be under a fly way and from the beginning of September I hear the CBC first and then the Koel moving through. As yet the regulars for this location have not arrived.

 

Cheers

 

Colin

G'day All,

Can't help
wondering why Channel-bills, Koels etc seem to arrive in the southern 'states
before SE Qld (still haven't had a CBCU yet!) 

My first Latham's Snipe records for this season were as posted:
Four  at Samford Lagoon (20 kms NW of Brisbane CBD) on 13 August 2005

Hi all, I've hijacked Peter's email to ask a quick query regarding
Lathams Snipe:

Have they been sighted this season in Australia? and any sightings in
the Hunter Valley, NSW?

I will be meeting some students from Kushiro Nishi High School tomorrow
(the school is located in Kushiro, Hokkaido, the breeding grounds for
Lathams Snipe, and is are twinned with Callaghan College here at
Newcastle), and they are sure to want to know something about the snipe!

thanks in advance,

Angela Brady
