Hi Steve,
glad you mentioned it - I went along with the rest on Rose Robin
by the fact of being clearly outvoted - but I have never heard
Rose Robin make this call. I know the Rose Robin's normal song
well - like a "dit dit-dit-dit-dit deeeuw deeeuw" with the last
two notes falling at the end rather than rising. At least that's
what they sound like in Royal NP - I appreciate they can have
different local 'accents' as well.
I'd like to hear a recording of this particular or similar call
from Brush Cuckoo &/or Rose Robin to confirm the ID.
Thanks
Marc

Hi Marc,
Tough call. I think it's a Brush Cuckoo also, a series of the
"pheeew-weee" calls they sometimes do. It's a bit too harsh
and "solid" sounding for a Rose Robin which is more reedy and
plaintive and usually has more musical notes preceding the
''feear, feear" ending notes.
The first two notes on the sonogram are the loudest and most
telling in terms of supporting Brush Cuckoo as the vocalist.
Hope that helps!
Cheers, Steve
