Pizzey an Knight states that Fan-tailed Cuckoo is part-migratory with an
inland autumn migration. I suppose you might describe it as a post-breeding
dispersal, with some moving inland and others remaining. In the apps the
distribution map colours indicate the movement between summer and winter
quite well.

I never actually thought that Fan-tailed Cuckoos were migratory (they just
went quiet over winter) but as it happened I heard one as I walked home in
Albury this afternoon - the first one I have actually heard at my house
since moving in December.
Cheers,
Peter

winter delayed its departure? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
