Eastern Koels are back - Monday 25th Sept 2023

They're b-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-c-k ! ! !

It has been a long time since I've had an observation worth recording.  I was enjoying my lunch on the banks of the Hunter river at Maitland yesterday, when the unmistakable call of an Eastern Koel echoed around me. 

It was my first sighting of the migratory cuckoos for Spring 2023.  The Channel-billed cuckoos won't be far away now, and the dollar birds not far behind them.  

The endless cycle repeats.
