I was just thinking the same thing today. I realised that I haven’t heard any calling for at least a few days now – not even the two fledglings being fed by Red Wattlebirds here in Higgins.

After being Koel City here in Gungahlin, suddenly the absence of Wirra Wirra-ing is obvious.

Do this mean that they are on their way back to PNG etc or just that the frenzied mating season has cooled?

And does any knowledgeable person know how soon the juveniles can fly north? The Annual report suggests last reported sighting of Koels is March. Does this mean all juveniles are fully grown by then and able to fly the long journey north?
