Thanks David, that’s No 29 for this season of which I’m aware, quite a few more than I expected at the end of November. However, I’ve been away, and nearly all have been of direct directly reported to me,
and I have yet to check eBird etc since Christmas Eve. Interestingly none so far locally in Chapman/Rivett on my return, the 2 very early ones I had seem to have moved on. Regards Jack Holland

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Koel
Lagging the field a little, I can finally report a dy Koel in Yarralumla. I heard and then saw it at 11:45 at the intersection of Newdegate St and McCartney Cres.
In my own GBS precinct in Deakin, I have heard something like a begging Koel on two occasions, but no definite ID.
