Koel, Leaden Flycatcher

aka DDDs (Departure Date Determinations). When migrants return, we delight in claiming the "First for the season". So why is it that we don't place equal emphasis on claiming the "Last for the season"? Well we all know why. It's too darn hard. Unless we religiously keep a diary of our sightings and then compare notes in the off-season to determine whose was the last sighting, how would we do it? Well now I think I know: provide another avenue for some one-up-manship on a public forum! If you've bettered the last date, please set the record straight ...

Koel, Leaden Flycatcher

Post by Mick Atzeni »

Things seem to be on the move lately. Over the next few weeks our spring-summer migrants will be departing, so time to keep a tab on departure dates.

Koel at home yesterday 14/2
Male Leaden Flycatcher here today (15/2) - first for the yard all season.
