Hi Marnix
For some reason I can't post messages on the COG list although I can
receive them - maybe you could post this for me.
I found the coucal report interesting because there's also a one in
the Warrumbungle NP at the moment. This isn't as far from their usual
range but it's only the second record. As in Canberra, there's been
an marked increase in the Coonabarabran region in koel and
channel-billed activity over the past few years (although we're well
within the range of those spp.) - maybe the coucals are following suit.
Cheers
Caroline
