Thank you once again for all the people who responded to my request – I’m
somewhat surprised by the results.
Subscribers may be interested to know that of the 11 responders, 4 had not
seen/heard them after the first week of March (8/3), 4 last heard them in the
second week (up to 15/3), with 3 still having heard them last week, as late as
22 March. There were in Narrabundah and Ainslie.
So who knows whether one or two are still lingering around – so please keep
an ear out for them. Even if you think they have gone from your area, the
experience is that there have been some surprise late calls.

Subject: Have all the Koels gone?
According to my information most Koels left Canberra about the 7-8 March,
just after the second heavy rain on 3-4 March. The last record provided to
me is of one calling on 12 March.
Does anyone have a more recent observation, or still have koels in your
area?
Jack Holland
