There seem to be Large Hawk Cuckoos beginning to call- warm ups rather than full calls.  Started on the 10 March in Pak Tin Kong, Lam Tsuen.  I am sure I heard a distant Chestnut-winged Cuckoo calling too!  

It gets very noisy around here when they all start calling properly, great until there is a LHC outside the bedroom window.

Large Hawk Cuckoo really started to call properly last night(13/3/11) and still going strong this morning.

Pretty much their usual call but not quite so enthusiastic- a couple of goes and then a "mutter" or shriek.  No real conviction, you could tell they weren't committed to it.

First Plaintive Cuckoo I've heard in Pak Tin Kong, Lam Tsuen (21/3/11)

I had Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo calling in Pak Tin Kong early this morning (5 May 2011).  I believe Brendan reported one calling at Tai Po Kau the same evening (4 May 2011).
