Fan-tailed Cuckoo

Its natural habitats are temperate forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, subtropical or tropical moist montanes, paddocks, orchards and gardens. The Australian range is from Cape York in Queensland following the coast south to Shark Bay in Western Australia. Along the west coast, its range extends no more than 1000km inland. In South Australia the range is along the coast except in the south-east corner around Mount Gambier and the Eyre Peninsula. It also inhabits Tasmania.

The Fan-tailed Cuckoo is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Fan-tailed Cuckoo (Cacomantis flabelliformis) is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. It is found in Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. More

The Fan-tailed Cuckoo is a slender cuckoo and the adult bird is easily identified by a yellow eye ring (slightly greenish in young birds), its generally dark slate-grey back and wings, becoming pale rufous below, with a boldly barred black and white under tail. Younger birds are duller and browner in colour. More

A Fan-tailed Cuckoo was first spotted by us aourh od Maules Creek, New South Wales, in October 2006. Further sightings followed on the western fringes of Mt. Kaputar National Park, 30 km east of Narrabri. First spotted there in April 2008, then again in early August 2008 (i.e. in wintertime). While the above sightings occurred in bushland, near creekbeds, the vegetation was very sparse 20 km east of Narrabri, where we saw a Fan-tailed Cuckoo in February 2009. More

The Fan-tailed Cuckoo is a slender cuckoo, 24cm - 28cm in length. Its mournful, descending trill often draws attention to its presence. The adult bird is easily identified by its generally dark slate-grey back and wings, becoming pale rufous below, with a boldly barred black and white under tail. Younger birds are duller and browner in colour. The striking yellow eye ring (slightly greenish in young birds) is clearly visible from quite a distance. I usually hear these birds distinctively.

Fan-tailed Cuckoo Cacomantis Flabelliformis A forest and woodland inhabitant, the Fan-tailed Cuckoo appears to be less migratory than other cuckoos and there are some records during winter. However, most birds arrive in the hills and woodlands of the region from August to October. Records then decline sharply in November and December then remain stable until autumn. Numbers declined over the 17 years of the survey particularly in later years. More

The fan-tailed cuckoo tends to parasitise the nests of dome shaped nesters such as wrens, warblers and scrubwrens. The yellow ring around his eye is entirely normal. If you are interested in these birds, and have seen their young in other bird's nests, Michael and Lesley Brooker are a couple of retired research scientists who maintain a huge database of cuckoo parisitism observations. I'm sure they would love to hear from you if you have seen this remarkable ornithological process. More

that it was a Fan-tailed Cuckoo, the first that I'd seen that morning, despite hearing several. Well, as you can see by the accompanying images, I scrambled a few shots of this surprisingly tame individual. The Fan-tailed Cuckoo is arguably the most commonly seen cuckoo in Tasmania. All our cuckoos are Summer migrants, but Fan-tailed Cuckoos commonly overwinter, usually in coastal areas, and I recorded 2 calling vigorously on Goat Bluff, South Arm, in the middle of July this past Winter.
