After hearing my first male Koel calling (both calls) across Darwinia Tce in Rivett around 8:15 this morning I followed up similar calling (mainly koel) this afternoon and found
2 males in the small park about 300 m from our house.
Celia Hindmarsh first reported a male calling from very close by a week ago on 2 October. Interestingly this is a favourite location in the area for Koels and was the core area
for 2 fledglings which spent over 3 weeks there in January/February.
Interesting also is that Celia’s is the only record so far this season on the eBird map, others of course may have been put on GBS charts etc.
