Given their distinctive call and the many reports of tracking them quite a distance from where they were first heard, I hope someone is actually mapping the reports of koels?
 
The "Ainslie" one has been heard at almost any hour of the day, beginning from 4 am, from Corroboree park (South), to Tyson Street (North), to the Ainslie football fields (West). All estimated to be about a half kilometre range from us.
 
Does anyone know what the 'normal' range of any one koel is? Or perhaps it depends on habitat ?
