Koels are on the increase in the ACT. Fomerly occasional visitors they are now regular.

As the native vegetation around here doesn't have too many figs, or too many obvious fruiting trees, it presumably the urban fruit trees which sustain them, and have allowed them to colonise. But I wonder if it is due to one sp in particular. This is a Prunus sp which fruits very early (it has fruit now, for example). I would imagine Koels would be looking particularly for fruit round about now, early in season, there being more later. And this sp of Prunus is very common in the ACT; it's probably something that did well in the early days and was widely planted.
