After the flurry of postings after Xmas/early New Year there has been a lull of reporting of new Koel fledglings.  I’m not sure if this reflects few being found or if they are not being reported due to koel fledgling saturation syndrome.
 
I strongly suspect the latter as I now have 6 in Rivett/Chapman, after finding 2 within 75 m of each other this morning in a spot where I’ve now had them 3 years out of the last 4.  RWB confirmed host for one, and likely for the second.
 
Diana White has found at least 5 fledgling in a small area around her place in Narrabundah, and the one she reported originally has now been present in her garden for 22 days.
 
The above comprises over half of the 20 or so fledglings I’m aware of to date.
 
So if you have been observing koel fledglings but haven’t been reporting them on the chat line for fear of being branded a “me too”, I’d be very happy if you sent the details directly to me.
 
Many thanks
