Up until about Christmas day, Superb Parrots were here
often, flying over in small groups several times a day. Lost count of them.
We’ve had a koel here every day for the last few
weeks, with two birds calling on several occasions. Just this morning my wife
saw a female koel fly low over the house giving its ‘wirra-wirra’
call.
Brand new young Red Wattlebirds just out of the nest (no
juvenile koels ...).
And a first for me at home, a pair of Black-faced
Cuckoo-shrikes, and they’ve built a nest in the large eucalypt on the
nature strip out the front! Has anyone heard of cuckoo-shrikes playing host to
koels?
Cheers
Anthony
