Jenny, on the dog walking circuit this morning we first heard a Koel
calling from the Hibiscus Cres direction close to the Rivett shops at 7:20, and
then from the E end of Rene St Chapman close to the Chapman shops at 8 am.
These (within a few 100 m) are the two spots in my local patch where Koels were
consistently heard last summer. The latter has been calling for about the
past fortnight, whereas I’ve only heard the former a couple of
times. In between this another Koel could be heard calling in the
distance from the Waramanga direction.

Weston/Waramanga
After the sporadic thunder clouds rolled in early this
morning, a male Koel turned up around my garden, giving wirra wirra calls
initially. It flew to a deciduous street tree on the neighbour's nature
strip (in Chevalier St) and called for several minutes until the Red Wattlebirds
drove it off. I last saw it flying over Hindmarsh Drive towards Larakia St
Waramanga.
cheers
Jenny
