Morning all,
At 0620 this morning, for the first time in over a week, a Pacific Koel was
calling just outside my GBS area in Kaleen. Nothing too unusual with this but
what did surprise me was that he was giving the "Koel" or "Coo-ee" call for
only the second time in this current breeding season.
The first and only time that he gave this call was when he arrived back in town
in week 44 (late October) and only on one day. All other calls have been the
usual "Wurra Wurra" and assorted shrieks and whistles, some of which I have
never heard before.
I think this will be one of the last days for the local koels before they head
off to places unknown in the island to the "north". Calling locally has been
rapidly dropping over the last couple of weeks, with only males calling
intermittently.
Mark
