G'day Everyone,
I have recently moved back to Canberra and have been reading with interest the reports of birds in Canberra on this list. Since we moved in to our house in Nicholls in mid-Jan I have seen and heard Koels most mornings and even in the early evening. This morning one male allowed himself to be photographed in our front yard and while he was sitting there another male was calling to the south. I have also been walking around Gungahlin Pond regularly and have seen Koels on the western side every three days or so.
One other bird that I have noticed around here is the Spotted Dove. I recall from my last time in Canberra that there was some interest in their spread into the ACT. The most I have seen in one go is 3 although in the last week or so they have not been around. Are they now common?
