Hi Russell and Trevor,
Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoos are quite common around the River Murray in the
Riverland (SA), and also in the Murray Mallee here. You sometimes even find
them in orchards. They seem to overwinter from time to time, the last one I
heard calling was late May this year. I'm not sure if it's still here
though.
Regards
Peter Waanders
