Still no Koels in Como (southern Sydney) but a friend at work said he heard
one at Engadine (just a bit further south) last Wednesday morning.
Went for a trip to Payne's Crossing (between Wollombi and Broke in the
southern Hunter) and a lot of birds were about (despite the wind). Pallid
and Brush Cuckoos were both calling and a pair of White-winged Trillers were
seen (but not heard). Rufous Whistler, Rainbow Bee-eater and White-throated
Gerygone had all arrived by the first weekend of September. No Sacred
Kingfisher, Dollarbird or White-throated Nightjar, but they will be there by
my next trip up there in mid October
Cheers,
Peter
