Greg and others,

My wife asked me the same question last night. I firstly replied that
it is impossible for me to replicate and then had a shot. And failed.
It's sort of a twittery whistle, that rises in pitch, and doesn't last
more than a second. I've tried to think of a birdy comparison but
nothing comes to mind. Maybe someone else (Graham?) can give a better
description?

I've just had a poke around the net and can't find a recording to send
you. If anyone else has one perhaps they wouldn't mind sharing it?

Evan,

You must have a great memory if you can keep all of those lists in your
head.  I envy you. As the number of lists grow and the numbers of birds on
those lists grow you might find it necessary to have a written copy.  There
is nothing more valuable than a written record of an interesting sighting
from many years back.

Re. the call of the Ringtail Possum.  I have only heard a Ringtail call once
and it was not a very conspicuous call.  This might be because they are in
low numbers near my home.  Can you describe the call of the Ringtail?  We
frequently have Common Brushtails 'coughing' here.
