I am in Darwin for the week and just spent a lovely morning at McMinns Lagoon with Green Pygmy Geese and a Little bronze Cuckoo to name a couple. Then I came across this bird which I think is a Brush Cuckoo. Coud someone confirm please? Sue

Looks like it to me. Lorne
Thanks Lorne. Thought it was but my first sighting of one and so many new birds up here. Sue

I think it's a Fan-tailed Cuckoo. ( but then again, you might not find them up there?) It looks just like the ones I get in my garden.

Thanks for the suggestion M-L but I know the Fan-tailed Cuckoo. As you surmised, they do not occur in Darwin and the yellow eye-ring is not present. This one just looked different and browner. There are so many birds here that are new to me, I just wanted to be certain. Sue
