I heard another Koel in Sydney, this time
at home in Seven Hills (western Sydney). Was there
a flood of Koels records along the east coast this
week?
Also I heard for the first time a New Holland Honeyeater
calling from our backyard. NHHE’s though
abundant along Sydney’s
coastline are not typical in shale environments where I live and it was giving
out its alarm calls when a passing raptor (did not see the raptor but it
probably was our local Peregrine passing over). However, there is a resident
population of NHHE”s about 2-3 km away at
Prospect Reservoir (which is also not their typical habitat).
