Hi all
had a male Koel calling strongly from the big pine tree at the back of my house in Turramurra (northern Sydney) about 7pm this evening. Must be about going away time?

Also, today's Sydney Morning Herald carried an article (by John Huxley, who I believe is a birder - link below) on the 2009 State of Australia's Birds report - this referred to a "Tasman Parrot" - is that a Swift Parrot or something else.?
