I was just paused to refuel the lawn mower a few moments ago (17:30 Eastern Daylight Savings Time) when the distinctive call of an Eastern koel began to echo around the neighbourhood.
We returned to Casa da Ayre only late yesterday afternoon from 6 weeks holiday - so the Koels may have very well have arrived in the Lake Macquarie area before now. But nonetheless it is worth publishing a brief note regarding the casual observation of a migratory species. Spring is definitely here now !
Out of curiosity I looked back through my sightings of this species last year - See HERE . It turns out that last year they arrived on Friday 3rd October - so it's very close to the same time.
