Common koel sighting?

[Gordon and Pam Cain <>]

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
