Although I was away all last week and returned on Friday night, the first Koel for this season heard at my Kambah home this morning.

After some calling yesterday, I tracked down the first Koel for the season to the same silky oak as I first did last year, but a fortnight earlier, consistent with their seeming
earlier arrival this year.
Unlike last year the male only called intermittently, initially some brief wirra wirraing/whoa whoaing, but then all koeling, as it did yesterday and in my experience is the call
mostly given on first arrival.
Another breeding season to monitor ahead of us!
