All this talk of Koels and Channel Billed Cuckoos arriving back, including plenty of reports form nearby suburbs, but none here yet ( that I have heard any way) in Turramurra (northern suburbs of Sydney).  I recall this is the same pattern as last year (from Birding-Aus) and prior years (from NSW Birdline).  We have plenty of habitat, appropriate host species and they definitely turn up, but often two or three weeks after everyone else's - any reasons?
Cheers

PS perhaps I should be grateful that we have to wait three weeks longer for the inimitable 5am pass of the CBCs!!
