At East Maitland in the Hunter Valley, NSW, and some 30 km from the sea,
I heard my first Koel this morning and my first Channel-billed Cuckoo
four days ago.
This is consistent with the pattern of previous years, that is recording
migratory cuckoos here two or three weeks after people closer to the
coast report them. Perhaps this could be because migratory cuckoos tend
to use the Australian Eastern Coastline to guide their migratory route.
Or, possibly, it could be that the more skilled observers tend to live
nearer to the coast. Any thoughts?
