For what little it is worth, the chap I work with,
who I mentioned on 2 December had a Koel near his house, is actually in
Nicholls, not Amaroo. Just me remembering it wrongly. He told me today that it
is not there since last weekend.
I also repeat the quote from the GBS Report:
"Records are overstated a bit as one noisy male
can be widely recorded. Their call is loud, far-carrying and distinctive and
observers seek them out when told they have been noted nearby, so many
observations are from the bird heard calling. Maller & Jones (2001) in
Brisbane found a temporal pattern to their calling which will impact on
recording rate. Seasonal pattern is very clear, arrive in October, build to a
December peak then decline, last observed in February."
