Ron Johnstone from the WA Museum passed on a report from Noela
Shepherd. She heard a koel calling at night on the 6th and 7th October in
the Thomsons Bay settlement on Rottnest. This was near the nursing
post. No confirmation yet. There is a Birds Australia Western Australia
bush bird survey of Rottnest this weekend. I hope that Sue Mather gets my
message I left on her mobile phone answering service, and can check it
out. Apparently there was a record in Quairading in the wheatbelt quite
some time ago. I guess the possibility exists that it might be Asian Koel
rather than Eastern Koel. Eastern Koels normally only come as far south as
Broome in WA.
