With all of the Koel ‘hearings’
and some sightings has any one seen a female?
All the chat line entries seem to only
mention males
No wonder they only have calling to do!

Suburban birdwatching:
a typical experience
For the last few
weeks a koel has been calling every day in the Rocky Knob area, it seems at any
time of day, certainly in the early morning before sunrise. On reading
Mark’s message at 0730 I cocked an ear, and sure enough there was the
chap at it again just over the back fence (I thought). Thinking
‘OK this time I’ll just nail the exact location’, I set
off accordingly. Some time later, across Caley and over Captain Cook,
deep in Griffith, near the shops, I found him at his station at the top of a
Pin-Oak in Strzelecki Cr (don’t think of living there unless you can
spell it). This was 700 METRES from where I could hear him at my house.
And how many times
have we had this view of the species?

A koel has been calling before and at every dawn chorus
heard from Ainslie since I have been back. But, of course, the call carries
well in the quiet early morning so I cannot tell its exact location. I think
the birds are no longer much of a rarity?
