Hi all,
I've just seen a post on the New Zealand Bird Identification Facebook page about a possible Oriental Cuckoo. The author of the post is "99% sure" it's an oriental, he has seen the bird a couple of times over the last few days. No response when asked for further details or location so far.

He has since posted a recording of a call on the linked thread above but it doesn't sound like Oriental Cuckoo to me.

Re: Possible Oriental Cuckoo, Waiuku
Sounds more like a weird pallid cuckoo call but even then doesn’t really fit.
