Black-eared Cuckoo at Gwdyir Park TSR, Uralla NSW

["alan morris" <>]

Hi Birders,

Black-eared Cuckoos in eastern NSW primarily lay their eggs in Speckled 
Warbler and Yellow-rumped Thornbill nests. The former nest on the ground but 
the latter can nest high in trees at times. Sometimes the nests are attached 
to the bottom of bird of prey nests, while at other times, the nest can be 
added to over time and so become big and bulky.
It is possible that the Black-eared Cuckoo seen by John Clifton-Everest at a 
large nest in a Eucalypt was actually checking out a Yellow-rumped Thornbill 
nest.
