Probably my last African addition for the coming 3 weeks:
366. Northern puffback
Puffbacks are always nice to see, but this one was even better as it was the 50th bird species I saw on my compound
.
Went on another bat count today and saw another lifer species:
23. Nathusius' pipistrelle bat Pipistrellus nathusii

I really haven't seen many birds over the Australian winter, but I haven't been trying at all either. I did spot a male Lyrebird displaying, which was brilliant, and saw my first wild cuckoo in Australasia last week. Otherwise fairly quiet. Hopefully I'll get to see some of the now-arriving summer migrants over the next couple of months.
Birds
104 Little Penguin Eudyptula minor
105 Hardhead Aythya australis
106 Satin Bowerbird Ptilonorhynchus violaceus
107 Pied Currawong Strepera graculina
108 Superb Lyrebird Menura novaehollandiae
109 Shining Bronze Cuckoo Chrysococcyx lucidus
110 White-necked Heron Ardea pacifica
well done on the cuckoo. They can be hard birds to see - easy to hear but hard to actually find!
(Koels are cuckoos too, by the way)
[EDIT: I missed you said "in Australasia" - have you not seen Australian koel or Pheasant Coucal yet?]

I thought this would be cool too - the whole Zoochat Big Year of mammals so far! It totals 214 species. Not everyone includes scientific names in their lists, so there may be some misinterpretations on my part. Lots of species from North America and Europe; lesser numbers from Africa, Asia and Australia; nothing from Central or South America.

The cuckoo was on top of a small tree in the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens, and pretty easy to spot actually. It didn't stay long - got mobbed by a New Holland Honeyeater and disappeared.
I haven't seen any other cuckoos in Australia/NZ, the only wild cuckoo I've seen in Asian Koels in Singapore. Seen a few cuckoos in zoos, including Pheasant Coucals.
Thank you for doing this!
I need to update my list 
got a few months worth of stuff to add!
got a few months worth of stuff to add!
A small correction, the bat I initially mentioned as a slit-faced bat, turned in fact out to be a Yellow-winged bat (Lavia frons). Also I am on 46 mammals now, as I removed the wild cat from my list again, and the Grass rats I have seen will remain Arvicanthis spec. as they are either niloticus or neumanni....
