Birders, some serendipity.

I wandered across Wentworth Park today to Bintel to have a look at some
scopes. The attendant and I set up one on the balcony to scan the pigeons.
"There's a bird up there in the tree, have a look at that"
So i trained the scope onto what I was expecting to be a pigeon, only to
find a Figbird, calling plaintively. A new bird for me, and I think I've got
the call nailed with the re-inforcement of such an unusual situation. An
excellent ad for the scope in question.
