Hi Martin,
There certainly are some other migrant birds about.
It appears a good year for White-winged Trillers. I have also encountered
Pallid Cuckoos, Dollarbirds & Bee-eaters. But that is just me and one
person who doesn't go out much when it is hot, doesn't count for much. However
as you well know, messages on e-mail chat lists tend to follow themes and the
Koel is a good one. It is still novel enough to be interesting to mention. The
other thing intriguing thing about them is that they are so obvious to hear and
so difficult to see. Lastly and hardly surprising that I agree with Geoffrey's
comments about this.
