Channel-billed cuckoos arrive - Sunday 22nd Sept 2024

 They're back again already - it feels like a week has past since I wrote my last migratory cuckoos have arrived post and wow - another year has been & gone and the cycle of renewal begins anew . . .  

I was in Whitebridge, having a rest late in the afternoon sunshine after riding through Glenrock reserve last Sunday, 22nd Sept 2024.  I was chatting with my friend when our conversation was interrupted by the raucous shrieks of a Channel-billed cuckoo - sure enough, moments later one of the distinctive large grey cuckoos flew directly overhead - with a squadron of Pied currawongs and Noisy miners in hot pursuit.  Somewhere a female was likely silently sneaking around, looking for am unguarded nest . . .
