re Koels

[Wayne Gregson <>]

Geoff, of course some unusual stuff about Koels will come up from time to time.  the problem is if I (and perhaps others) get to the point where we automatically delete anything headed “Koel” we are going to miss the more interesting information.

 

cheers

Just a question of getting the balance right, Wayne.  I thought Lach’s message about a near view of a mating was very reportable.

 

We all have our preferences.  Personally, I would like to hear more about emergent ducklings of the A Wood Duck, Australia’s favourite maned duck.  I have sometimes wondered if it is a coincidence that the first of these appear around Melbourne Cup Day.

Am I just being a grumpy old person or do other chatliners share my view that Koels are now a sufficiently well established feature of Canberra’s bird scene that we don’t really need to know about each and every one that turns up?
