I’ve had a koel in Scullin for three weeks, but have not heard it for the last three days. Maybe it’s moved up to Weetangera. It has a very distinctive call, it sounds like a teenager with a breaking voice!

Yesterday I heard the Southwell St Weetangera koel for the first time this season. Maybe it’s been slumming around Macquarie so far?  But thanks Mark for making its reporting respectable once again.

I prefer to think of it as the Giralang koel. I heard it calling in with the dawn chorus and it is also the first I’ve heard this year.

At the risk of annoying/upsetting/infuriating the Koel-phobes I wish to report that the Kaleen Koel was recorded for the first time this year by my wife calling close to our house last night. At present, (0755) it is calling several hundred metres to the west of our house close to the Giralang/Kaleen ridge.
