Hi!
All this week I've been the reluctant host of 3 imm
Koels and their Red-Wattlebird stepmums. At one stage I even had to hand
feed one of them, but I should add that they are all tolerated on the
understanding that they all go to Canberra next year. They all said they
can hardly wait till next spring when they will be received with open arms
along with the adulation they will get from birdo groupies.
The young ones even drown out the calls of the
adults with their constant gravely ,one a second, 'Wit' or sometimes for a
change "Wot", from dawn to dusk. It will give you something to look forward to
next year.

Ps - for the second time this year I spotted 7
Channel-Billed cuckoos flying overhead.
