Common koel sighting?

Hi all,

My 17 year old son, who is better at identifying birds than I am, told me he just saw a male common koel on the branch outside his window. He says it definitely was not a white-winged chough. And it flew off before my wife or I could get there.

We live in NW Sydney.

As best I can figure from Eremaea Birds, there has been the odd sighting of koels in June in NSW.

I know that a migrant rarely will not migrate.

Does this make sense, and how likely is it?

Thanks and take care
