Yes Jack, Page is not letting you down. Chick 1 (“Noel” – what else would you call a koel chick first seen on 21 Dec) stayed around till 23 Jan. As the adults are still around and calling, I assumed there were more young about so the dog and I pounded the western Page pavements this evening. In less than an hour we’d found two – one in Keartland St, with Red Wattlebirds in attendance; one in the park at the end of Hannaford St. We’ll try other parts of the suburb over the next few days. Earlier I did see two attempts by koels to parasitise Magpie-lark nests but both have fledged Magpie-lark young. b
