User's notes

My second observation of a cuckoo being fed by a honeyeater this year, but this time a different combination in a Pallid Cuckoo and a Brown-Headed Honeyeater. I observed for about half an hour and the honeyeater only came over to feed once, both moving to a tree nearby and the cuckoo eventually stopping its call.
