Observation details
Heard the two-note song from quite close, and recognised it soon enough. Tried to call it and even to spot it, but to no avail. Towards the end of our walk, near the opening, we were hearing high pitched soft trills, somewhat like Regulus calls but protracted. We thought some flycatcher, but turned out to be a dark looking cuckoo with untidy streakings: HHC. Some would say it's too cute to be any other cuckoo :). We're glad we chose to wait for some more time when Ryngkat told us he'd leave and we could stay longer. At least 2 (singing) males, maybe more in total.
