Common Koels.  Their calls become conspicuous (to non-birdwatchers) in the
lead up to the Higher School Certificate exam in Sydney.  They also get
called HSC birds.

Saw a Black-faced Monarch on Friday (23rd) in Glebe (inner Sydney) -
looking very out-of-place with some Bulbuls.  Must be passing through,
although it seems too late to be a migrant?
