Nikolas,
According to the definition I use, the song is one of many different
types of call, and yes, I was talking about the song - although the
shorter ('unfinished') version of the WTG mentioned below is possibly
not the song but a different type of call.
cheers,
Carol

PM Subject: Re: [Birding-Aus] Gerygone calls Evan and all, I don't
agree that the Western Gerygone's call is like an unfinished version
of the White-throated. They are definitely quite distinct and
recognisable. They start similarly, but the Western sort of goes off
on a tangent and as Paul Taylor described, rambles upwards and
downwards without the long descending section. The White-throated
does sometimes "not finish" their call, at least I've sometimes
heard them do just the first few notes and then stop. Cheers,
