Thank you Tyrie, in what suburb are you, and do you know the host (I’m assuming Red Wattlebird)?

 

As numbers seem to be increasing every year I’m again keeping a tally of Koel chicks.  With 6 that I’m now aware of already we’re off to a flying start compared with last year when of a total of close to 60 the first was not reported until early January.  Based on the many contributions from chat line subscribers etc, this has been written up in a paper which has been accepted for Canberra Bird Notes and will appear in the next issue.

 

Many thanks

 

Jack Holland

Great shot! We spent an hour in the sun this morning waiting for the the one being fed in our backyard to emerge from its tree for a photo like that. Only after we gave up and put the cameras away did it make a very brief appearance in full view!
