Hi All,
Has anyone noted an increase in the numbers of Channel-billed Cuckoos around
Sydney this year?
Yesterday I spent about 6 hours fishing the waters of Port Hacking and was
surprised by the numbers of CBCs I heard and saw along the northern shoreline.
We spent the time doing several drifts along the main channel between Lilli
Pilli Point and Burraneer Point, a distance of about 2.3 km. I heard CBCs at
least 8 different locations along the shoreline and calling in flight. Three
pairs in flight were observed at different locations.
I have fished this area at this time of year, since 2003 and can not recall
having heard more than 2 or 3 CBCs in total over that time.
In contrast we are quite used to hearing several Eastern Koels calling, but
yesterday noted only one.
Regards
Roger Giller.
