G'day Kirri
I'm not far from you at Stony Chute NSW and can agree with you on
Channel-billed Cuckoo, Eastern Koel and Common Cicadabird as being summer
migrants, although in thirty-five years here I've never had the pleasure of
seeing a Horsfield's Bushlark, so can't comment on that.
As for a list, I think you've just started one! I would add Brush Cuckoo,
Spangled Drongo and Noisy Friarbird. Interested to hear suggestions from
others. Pizzey's field guide has good information on this for each species
under the heading 'Breeding'.
Happy birding
Cheers
Tony Gibson
