Just to add to the Koel appearance record. We heard our first Koel in the Emu Ridge part of Belconnen yesterday, 18 Oct. It's calling repeatedly this morning, mostly the "ko-el" call.

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Blitz this weekend
Guess what folks,
It looks like a wet weekend for the Blitz! Third year running.
However, there’s no point sitting at home whingeing about it or you’ll be doing that for the next 7 days. Get out between the showers because that’s what the birds will be doing.
It does however mean that, once again, we will have little access to Namadgi. Most firetrails are likely to be closed given the impending rain this Thursday-Friday, and I wouldn’t encourage exploration off main roads.
Have a look at the list of sites
Blitz-sites-adopted-2022-V1.pdf (canberrabirds.org.au) . There are plenty of places around town not yet adopted, and even further afield accessible by sealed road, eg. Tidbinbilla, Corin Rd.
Let me know ()
which site/s you would like to cover on the weekend. Even if a site already has a name against it you can still visit it and make your own contribution.
Cheers
