News starting to come in I noticed re: returning Koels. On my
way to work this morning I had one along Rode Road, Chermside, Brisbane.
This is probably the earliest I've had. This area although heavily housed
suburbia has a couple of tree lined creeks and Koels remain all summer.
Interesting to note Bob Inglis mentioned large numbers of Noisy Friarbirds up
his way just north of Brisbane, well there are quite large numbers around
Chermside at the moment. However on the south side around East Brisbane (approx.
2 ks from CBD) there are large numbers of Little Friars, where normally there
have been one or two pairs over the last couple of years. I wonder if this
influx has anything to do with the extensive bush-fires around SEQ at the
moment, combined with the near drought conditions in Southern Queensland in
general. Cheers - Paul Walbridge.
