Late Koel fledgling

[Maryanne Gates via Canberrabirds <>]

Can anyone tell me what is the latest date we have had fledglings in the region and whether they migrate singly or as a group?

I have a fledgling that will be in care for at least another week or two and am wondering if I will need to keep it over winter?

After thinking my Koel fledgling season was well and truly over, not having seen one since 1 March, I heard the unmistakable begging and traced it to a spindly gum in amongst the casuarinas on the E side of the Stirling netball courts this afternoon.  Without binoculars it seemed quite brown under but still appeared to have a golden crown and the tail did not appear to be fully developed.  It was attended by a couple of Red Wattlebirds.  It’s pretty late though still not as late as a couple in the bumper 2020-2021 season.  Jack Holland
