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!

Another Koel
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.
