The black faced cuckoo shrike – is it a cuckoo or is it a shrike? Why are we talking about this Australian bird and do you have the sort of tree to attract this bird to your garden? Listen to ecologist Sue Stevens talk about this bird and hear its call.[Bird call provided by Tony Bayliss from the Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Group. www.awsrg.org.au]
We have some land on the Colo River, NW of Sydney and I’ve often heard a bird call I couldn’t identify. Now I know it’s the BFCS. I feel very privileged.
