There was a koel calling at about 8 o’clock this morning
in some eucalypts between the rebuilt Stromlo forestry settlement and
Warragamba Ave in Duffy. And I’ve heard another from my house most
mornings and evenings for about the past four or five weeks. I traced it on one
occasion to a tree in the back yard of a house just up the hill from the
Griffith shops, and on another to a laneway a couple of streets away from the
Narrabundah shops. The second location was about 1.2km by my bike speedo in a
mostly straight line from home, and its call had been clearly audible from that
distance on a quiet Sunday morning.
We also saw three little eagles this morning on Mt McDonald a
couple of km SE of Uriarra forestry settlement.
