Heard mimicking a Red-chested Cuckoo call which is interesting as that bird is quite rare for this locality. |

RCRC's are quite common further inland, when the RC Cuckoos are calling. They do move closer to the coast in winter (e.g. absent in PMB in winter), so could well be a bird that spends the summer with RC Cuckoos, so would be familiar with the call. |
