Through spring and summer I regularly hear Fan-tailed Cuckoos calling: described as a mournful descending trill. Along one of the paths to the Moorooduc quarry a pair flew down to lower branches and started calling.
In the background you can also hear a Striated Pardalote, a Grey Fantail and a Grey Shrikethrush.
I dont often get a chance to photograph these shy birds as they move through the upper and mid tree canopy looking for hairy caterpillars and other insects.
Great clear shots Malt. I use to wonder what that call was for quite a while before I actually saw one calling and finally knew.

Thanks Ashley, I like a bird with a very clear distinctive call, makes it much easier to pull out from the general bird song within the background sounds of a forest.
