Pallid Cuckoo

Wynton & Others,

The Pallid Cuckoo does not generally appear in western NSW until late July 
early August and during a recent 4 day birding trip to north western NSW 
(!!-14 July) no Pallid Cuckoos were heard or seen but that is expected, next 
month should be different.
Throughout north west  NSW there was plenty of green vegetation, the wheat 
and oat crops were all green,  and there was plenty of surface water. Water 
was flowering in the Monkeygar Section of the Macquarie Marshes ( as a 
result of flooding in the Talbragar and Bell Rivers which have no dams on 
them!) and there was even some water in the Barwon River but only a trickle 
in the Namoi! However everything looks set for a good spring for the birds.
