Common Koel etc

Post by Pat McConnell »

Common Koel and Channel-billed Cuckoo returned early to Highfields this year. Saturday 15 September saw the return of a Common Koel and on Sunday 16 September a Channel-billed Cuckoo was seen. Scarlet Honeyeaters have also turned up in the yard for the first time this year. A quick trip down Silver Pinch Road by Kath and myself on the Sunday produced Sacred Kingfisher, Shining Bronze-Cuckoo, lots of Rufous Songlarks and a single Singing Bushlark as well as a Peregrine Falcon.
