Claiming the first sight and sound of Koels in Sydney ... no wonder the mynah bird were going nuts!
Our torture goes through till March.
Ergh.

Day 6 of the @naturetrek.bsky.social Oman tour starts with a bang: two Asian Koels at Duqm. A very scarce migrant/winterer from India. #birds

I love the different bird sounds in different places. I have a very specific and deep memory of koels in India and here in the UK it’s the lovely wood pigeons.

Found the 5th Common Hawk-Cuckoo for Oman today (if accepted). Absolutely made up with this. The same small wooded park at Al Shamkaiah on Masirah Island also held RB Fly, 2 Asian Koels and 2 Forest Wagtails. What a place!

Saw the brown female fairy wrens twitching and the cry of the pacific Koels

It was a good reset

Fabulous birds.
They haven't arrived here yet but the Koels have been around for a couple of weeks so they won't be far behind.

Zelf heb ik ook iets koels:

The first eastern koels of the season appeared in the yard yesterday. They tend to stick around for 6 months before migrating back north before winter.

A few noisy miner birds also arrived in the yard on same day as the eastern koels. The warmer weather has well and truly arrived now.

Recently finished #ClearLightOfDay #AnitaDesai Three out of four stars. Would recommend. Would read again. "The koels began to call before daylight." In progress: #NecessaryErrors #CalebCrain 💙📚 #BookSky #Booksky #booksky

Usually the sulphur-crested cockatoos are the noisiest birds around but during the warmer months the eastern koels arrive and turn it up to 11!

It's why common names are so useless. Here the bird referred to as a storm bird is the Masked lapwing - and of course they don't herald storms any more than Koels do.

Koels have arrived in Armidale for the summer. Heard the first two calling tonight

Immature Eastern Koel - aka Stormbird aka Cooee Bird as it's distinctive call is "koo-el".
Koels are migratory cuckoos, flying to Eastern Australia from New Guinea around September and returning in March.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #hiding with the alternative of #Halloween, I think this video is appropriate! 😀

Nice morning of birding. Haven't been for ages, so it was delight to see Red-tailed Black Cockatoos, Pale-headed Rosellas, 5 honeyeater spp, Koels, Mistletoebirds, Dollarbirds, Bee-eaters & others. Easiest Cicadabird ever. (I can hear a...oh, there it is.)

Also a Brush Cuckoo heard but not seen.

I don’t care what anyone else thinks, Asian Koels are obviously the stars of White Lotus season 3.

bulbuls, flowerpecker, and koels becomes a norm. Thankful for being able to watch these fellow beings every day. They go about doing their daily duties, allowing me to enjoy their activities from my window.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Male and female Asian koels look surprisingly different, and for a while I didn’t even realise they were the same species.

It’s a nice change, as in most cases, male birds tend to be the more colourful and distinctive. Girl power!

Just spent the last 40 minutes or so of sundown being serenaded by koels, coucals, cuckoos and currawongs. Fan-bloody-tastic!

New discovery.
Single green egg laid per leaf on native mulberry, Pipturus argenteus.
Another reason to keep an eye on this native plant. Great garden addition, it attracts birds who love the fruit & flowers like lorikeets, fig birds & koels.

#Zomerhits: Vandaag werd het weer wat warmer - tenminste bij mij - dus ik dacht: waarom niet iets koels? 😉
