The raucous and very distinctive cries of a channel billed cuckoo punctuated the morning quiet this morning, Sunday 20 September. These guys migrate down from New Guinea during spring each year and breed in Australia. Typical cuckoos they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and enjoy life on the hog without any parental responsibilities. They're a very distinctve bird with that big curved bill. They usually reach Newcastle in November though with changes in weather they may well arrive earleir than that.Saturday, September 19, 2009
