S.O. kept sayin theres a different lookin bird, that looks like a willie wagtail kind of thing, and there was a willie wagtail present harassing the others, so everytime i looked i saw the WW, and i kept sayin huh? its a ww, then in the end i saw it lol, confusing havin those two together in same spot at same time!..the first and last time saw a Fantail cuckoo, was the valley immediately south of kangaroo creek dam early oct 2008, (altho i have a suspected sighting somewhere else from another time, saw the banded tail only)the WHOLE valley was full of their calls, their must of been dozens and dozens and dozens, it was spooky, i have called that walk it the valley of the cuckoo's walk ever since! altho i havent seen them back there since then, but dont go there that often 'spose.rufous whistlers eh, sweet, didnt see the striations, but they were close, crept up behind us, but hidden in leaves, and then a blur, i did check recordings on net, but couldnt match well, and bird memory banks was in overload by that point, ive only seen RW's once before! have heard them a few times, like at st kilda boardwalk, for a bird thats supposedly common, i dont find them all that common strangely, they are a bit of a bugbear with me/us,unlike GW's, which i see hear just about everytime i go somewhere, in very healthy numbers, ansteys hill near us they are as common all anything</blockquote>
