A couple of days later than Jack's, I heard my first female koel calling this morning but I was away from last Friday until last night so it may have called while I was away. The bird reported on the 25th of September called for two days - at one stage at 02:30 in the morning!! - then stopped calling for several days before starting again.

While walking my dogs this afternoon, a female Eastern Koel flew low close in front of me giving soft kek kek calls.  Luckily it landed in a small tree nearby so I could confirm it before it flew away.  This was in the small park at the end of the lane between Themeda and Mentha Places Rivett, an area that has been favoured by Koels in the past, including when they first arrive.

 

Apart from Mark Clayton’s post on 25 September I am not aware of any further sightings, there are none I can find on the eBird map so far.  However, it is right on time for the first arrivals in the past 2 seasons, also in Rivett (at almost the same place) in 2018, and Chapman in 2019.
