Great Spotted Cuckoo (Ventnor)

One was seen and reported late yesterday evening at Wheelers Bay (John Sturt). It was seen again early this morning by many (Pete and Andy etc) - I couldn't resist a local twitch...Only the Island's 2nd record. 'Showed well' to put it mildly. Often seen in the bramble devouring the local caterpillar population (esp. Brown-tail). [Stayed a few weeks till April 18th at least]. 









Just before abandoning our post - a couple of black reds were at SCP lighthouse
