I was just at my back door and heard unfamiliar bird sounds. Went to the front of the house to check this and in the Chinese Maple first saw two Red Wattlebirds fussing about a Pied Currawong. Oddly using sounds I don't know. But there was another call I don't know. I looked at where the Currawong was looking. There was a fledgling Koel. It was chirping constantly as young cuckoos do. Still quite unsteady on perching and moving about the tree. It was much smaller than an adult. This is the first evidence of breeding of this species for my GBS. Maybe not surprising. This year has been the first year that an adult pair (or in the last few weeks only an adult male) has been consistently in my GBS area throughout the spring and summer. I chased the Currawong away.
