Late Common Koel in Blue Mountains, NSW.

[Carol Probets <>]

The only previous May record for Koel I can find in the Blue 
Mountains Bird Observers records was one in 1996, seen until 18th May 
in a backyard at Springwood. This was a young bird. In most years our 
latest records of them are in March, sometimes April.
Cheers

Carol
