Three Koels

The Asian Koel's calls were most loudly heard from December to February, and thereafter hardly, which led me to believe that this was a migrant bird.  Then I came across it in May through to July too so it looked like this bird could be a resident in the taman, definitely so now, as I  just saw it again.

This female suddenly emerged from the undergrowth because of an unnatural call which shocked me as I didn't expect it to be down there.

This led me in search for the male which I was pretty sure was somewhere around, and so it was, up a tree, a few metres away.

And surprise, surprise, another one came into sight, on the same tree.  I waited for the two to confront one another as I thought it could be two males vying for the female, unfortunately it never happened as the two were contented to stay where they were for the duration I observed them.  However, this one seemed to be searching and although looked like it was calling, no call actually could be heard.
