Perhaps it is the role of the list owner to add a bit of mystery to proceedings :)

SFW HBC?
SFW = southern fresh waters? HBC is a bank? no they are birds.....
Please use bird names in full so we don't get even more puzzled than usual - thanks!

Hi all

I'm still settling into a new job and haven't had much time for birding lately, but occasionally the birds just find you, don't they? As I arrived home yesterday there was a female (or brown) Superb Fairy-Wren on the fence right in front of the car - and I did a double-take because it was feeding a BIGGER bird - a young Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoo. I've seen a few species
(mostly Thornbills) feeding Bronze-Cuckoos over the years, but I can't
recall seeing a fairy-Wren do it, although I think they're a standard
target species for these cuckoos. Is it a bit late for this sort of thing? I know FWs breed through until about February here, but I was under the impression that cuckoos breed mainly in spring and early summer. Has anyone
else noticed cuckoos breeding this late into the summer before?
