Never in May well hardly ever Natural Newstead
Its the exception that proves the rule.
Fan-tailed Cuckoos are migrants to the forests and woodlands of central Victoria.
Conventional wisdom is that they head north in early autumn to return again in late winter, with a small number of birds remaining to overwinter. During this time they remain silent, to begin calling again in early August.
On Friday morning the bird pictured below could not possibly have been overlooked as it called enthusiastically from our front yard for a good thirty minutes or so.
Looking at local records (20km radius of Newstead) in Birdata, there are only a handful (less than 10) of observations in May since 1995. Id be interested if any local readers have been hearing this species during May.
