Plaintive Cuckoo; 24th February 2013, Pak Tin Kong, Lam Tsuen
Large Hawk Cuckoo also calling, as were Greater Coucal. Seems to be earlier calls this spring, for Lam Tsuen anyway.

Indian Cuckoo at Mai Po, 4th April 2013
I get the impression there are fewer Large Hawk Cuckoos than usual this year - has anyone else noticed this?

We have just had a Chestnut-winged Cuckoo or Red-winged Crested Cuckoo (Clamator coromandus)in the garden. Heard and seen. Cracking bird :-)
Garden tick for me.

First Large Hawk Cuckoo I heard in Sai Kung was 28th March but regularly since then. My first Plaintive Cuckoo in SK was heard was 23rd March. Added Chestnut-winged today, April 9th - in our garden.

There do seem to be less Large Hawk Cuckoos, I haven't had any waking me up at night this year, and most birds I hear have been off at a distance. Last year I regularly saw them flying and calling around Pak Tin Kong, I haven't yet this year.

10 April 2013,
Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo calling near Tin Liu Ha. I think it was heard in TPK a couple days ago.

Rather late, I guess, but first Indian cuckoo calling near us in Sai Kung today. 25.4.13
