Koel

[Renée Ferster Levy via Canberrabirds <>]

Here are screenshots of Koel records from Birdata, showing winter only (June, July, August) and all months. There are quite a few coastal winter records, and some a bit inland.

It's super easy to explore Birdata by location, species, dates, survey type and more, sort birds by reporting rate for a given area ... and to view or compare your own data.

Happy birding

In the past when I have suspected an early Koel in Mallacoota it has usually turned out to be a somewhat strange chook call.

Hi All,

For a week and a half now, early morning, I have been hearing a very short call that sounds like the first half of a single Koel call. I always say to myself "Koel" but end up convincing myself that it can't be.

Today someone has posted on Facebook that they heard a Koel this morning, I asked if was a long or short call and was answered a normal call. Due to my one being just a snippet I still can't convince myself that it is a Koel but the report on Facebook today is a very early arrival.
