First Eastern koel for Spring 2014

Right now (7:25 am Friday 3rd October 2014) there is an Eastern koel calling in a tree next to Casa da Ayre.  It's the first Eastern koel I have heard in Belmont North for Spring 2014.  Like my recent Channel-billed cuckoo record (1st October 2014), it is significant only because they are a migratory species, and this record is merely an anecdotal record that they are here, today.  Spring is well and truly here !
