John Bradshaw has just been in touch (14h00) to let me know that they are currently watching the MADAGASCAR CUCKOO in the same spot that everyone saw it in on Sunday along the S114 in the southern Kruger National Park. Once again, I could hear the bird calling in the background, so it is obviously very close to the road at the moment! Apparently, they have been looking for it since this morning and only found it a short while ago, so the bird is obviously moving around a bit – just a little bit of patience required to find it.

If you haven’t yet made an effort to go and see it, I would suggest that perhaps you strongly consider it. There has not really ever been such an accessible individual to twitch and who knows when you might next get an opportunity on this species…

Good luck if you are planning on going and keep us updated!

Kind regards
Trevor
