Dear Sonja,
Over the years I have heard Fantail Cuckoos calling in May/June many
times.
Two possibilities: 1. They don't all migrate and some are sticking round
to take advantage of Blue Wrens and White-browed Scrub-wrens etc. which
are winter as well as spring breeders.
2. They could be migrating birds from Tasmania.
All the best. Are you coming to Beenak Saturday?
Anthea

I took a visiting German out yesterday and think we heard a Fan-tailed Cuckoo
calling near Anglesea Heath. I had thought that they would have moved north
by now, so wonder if some do stay here, or has the warm start winter delayed
its departure? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
