For all the koel lovers out there, I got a really good look at two males yesterday - one in Etheridge street, Page and the other in Ulm place, Scullin. I'm sure they weren't the same bird, as I heard a koel calling from the
Scullin area whilst watching the male in Page. (Also heard a third male calling at the same time from the direction of Hawker shops, but didn't track him down).
Today there was a male ko-elling on Starke street in Holt, opposite Cranleigh school.
Oh, and three superb parrots flew over Higgins Primary too!
