journal contribution
posted on 2023-11-22, 10:54 authored by William Vincent LeggeOn the 26th ult. (June), while driving to Swansea with Mr. Wragge, a beautiful adult example of Cuculus ftabelliformis (Fantailed cuckoo) flew across the road near Apsley.<br>The tract of country being passed through was mixed gum, she-oak (Casuarina), and Oyster Bay pine bush, and the cuckoo lodged on a branch by the side of the road, affording us a good view of its plumage. Such a late occurrence of this migrant is worthy of record.
