Returning today from 4 days in Melbourne, I tracked down two Koels
within my GBS area. Considering the amount of noise they were making and the
aggravation incited in the Wattlebirds, Friarbirds and Magpies, I thought there
was more than two but I only actually saw one male and one female at the same
time. Once again found an interested (human) neighbour looking at the two birds.

This
season I have heard little koeling around Rocky Knob, only distantly towards the
Griffith shops, but there has been much more wirra-wirra-ing, and this morning
an outbreak of the excited heh-heh-heh that signifies the curious courtship
activity of this species

I heard a Koel calling close to
Waramanga shops, in the late morning on Tuesday this
week.
