I went
out today again to look for the Koel and believed I could pick which tree it was
probably in (the middle of a big densely foliaged non native). This was across
the road and about 200 metres from my home. A lady came out of the house to ask
what I was looking at and I said the Koel. Oh she said "do you mean that bird"
and described a male Koel but didn't know the name, so I explained a bit about
it. She said "half the neighbourhood were looking at it", one time during the
week after it annoyed or amused most of them with its hollering starting at
about 5 a.m.
Philip.
