Although I don’t pay much attention to them, I very occasionally hear Spotted Turtle Doves near my house in Hackett – none this spring/summer so far though.
I seem to recall general disapproval over Koel reports last year, although I kind of like them as a ‘first cuckoo of spring’ equivalent ... but for what it’s worth, I heard one near North Ainslie Primary School Friday 18 Nov at about 4.30 PM, and saw two flying over Dickson shopping centre on Sun 20 Nov c6 PM.
