Shining-Bronze Cuckoo also calling this morning in Ocean Grove, near
Geelong.
Perfect spring day, low 20s - yes it would be good to get some more
rain soon. Some snow would be nice for those of us optimistic /
foolish enough to book accommodation at Hotham in September ...

G'day all
Had a vocal Shining Bronze-Cuckoo in the garden this morning. My
records going back to 1985 show this species arrives between 28th
August and 1 October. The mean date is 10th Sep. So this is the
earliest. Very much a spring day here with cuckoos calling, Red
Wattlebirds chasing New Holland Honeyeaters and a pair of Black-
shouldered Kites doing a courtship flight over the house.
Oh, and the magpies have begun their swooping season as well.
Looking for more rain very soon now.
Cheers
Steve Clark
