The cuckoos of spring have arrived and are making their presence known. There are Channel-billed Cuckoos in Sydney and Common Koels calling down the NSW South Coast. At Barren Grounds a number of Fan-tailed Cuckoos were holding court with their distinctive and musical descending trills. And Cuckoos active in the far north-west, in Broome, Western Australia.
