MADAGASCAN CUCKOO: still present this morning at Soetdoring Nature Reserve (heard a number of times since 8:45 today and brief flyby views).
This also comes with a warning: the road conditions are poor, and access to the site is now by 4x4 only due to muddy roads as a result of heavy rains. Please be careful if attempting to twitch the bird.
