Being utterly parochial here, the “Page” koel
has apparently - unaccountably – taken up residence in Macquarie
or Weetangera and has been calling on and off for a couple of weeks now from that
direction. But he (and the only times I have seen the calling bird, it has been
a dull grey, presumably an immature male) moves around quite a bit and normally
does a circuit through Page fairly early most mornings. Including today. I’m
fairly sure there is only one bird involved but I’d love to be proved
wrong. Great news re the pair nearer the city – and it would be
delightful if records of them found their way to the COG databases. b
