Dandenong Ranges
Found this one hiding in one of my photographs of a landscape - so didn't see the head, but iNaturalist is saying Cuckoo??
Black bird on right
unfortunately deceased but a whole flock of new birds here I havent been able to id yet.
Probably a young Fan-tailed Cuckoo but I'm not completely sure. Wonthaggi Heathlands.
I saw this bird fly into the tree on the far side of the pond, about 30 - 40 metres from where I was standing. I could see that it had a grub in its beak but it was too small to clearly with the naked eye. This is the second time I have seen this cuckoo here.
Definitely Oriental Cuckoo see colour of feet. Was added to ebird at the time.
Shining bronze cuckoo
Chrysococcyx lucidus (Gmelin, 1788)
