Over at my mother-in-law's place in Scullin this afternoon, I could hear
what I suspected was a juvenile Koel calling persistently. I found it
perched in a large cotoneaster at the end of the street, pecking at the
berries in between squawks.
It was later kind enough to perch for several minutes right outside my
mother-in-law's lounge room window, giving us all a very clear view of
its striking plumage in the late afternoon sun.
Can't help wondering whether it's constant calling will avail it in any
way (I saw no sign of parents, adoptive or otherwise) and what it's
chances are of hooking up with any of its kin at this late stage.
