Cuckoo Call Dates : 2010

Cuckoo Call Dates : Spring 2010

Thank you to those people who provided dates for cuckoo calls in the last few years < Previous Postings >

For the coming 2010 spring period it would be great this practice continues and so once again please can members kindly report dates of first heard cuckoo calls on the BBS. Please note it is only the date of the first call in Hong Kong for each species which is needed; Common Koel, Plaintive Cuckoo, Large Hawk Cuckoo, and Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo. i.e. there's no need to post up the 2nd/3rd.... call for each species.

Same as before, if any member can dig out call dates for any of the years between 1990 to 2003 it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

The Mai Po Team

Very surprisingly, I'm sure I heard Chestnut-winged Cuckoo yesterday at Ma Tso Lung. The earliest record in the Avifauna is 8th March!

Cuckoo calls

Yes, I KNOW it's not a cuckoo, but I heard Savanna Nightjar yesterday evening - first of this spring for me
at Au Ha Tsuen, Sha Tau Kok, N.T.

Not the first call, but at coolest day.
Koel call at Shatin this morning - probably lower than 8 C degree. Wondering if the relationship between cuckoo call and climate change so stright forward?

Re-read this thread, realized the "guideline" for posting the cuckoo call date. I would suggest the moderator collect the calling information as much as possible, not limited to first call only. If the benchmark is not only the first call dates but also ,say, the fifth call date or tenth call date, the interpretation would be much more convincing from a scientific perspective.
