At Martin's request, here are instructions for finding the above on
Mt Ainslie:
Go to the top of Tyson St, where it joins Duffy St, and cross into
the reserve from there. Get onto the fire trail on the other side of
the levee, then turn right and follow it along 40 metres or so to
where it diverges, one part going up the hill and the other following
the levee — that diverging point is the spot. The nest is in a tree
on the left (slightly uphill) of the track, in what looks like an old
and long-dead mistletoe cluster, and the tree where I first saw the
koel is a large flowering eucalypt on the right (with prominent
mistletoe growth), right beside the levee bank. The little plum/
prunus from which it gets its plums is in almost a direct line across
the levee to the backyards beyond, growing over a dividing fence. At
present you can walk across the levee at that point without getting
very muddy.
