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!

Subject: [Birding-Aus] SFW feeding HBC
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?
