I am fairly familiar with Rose Robins and the mystery call doesn't sound like one to me, but I have no idea what else it might be.
It would be interesting to know.
Cheers,
Merrilyn

Hi Peter - Yellow-throated Scrubwren usually weaves mimicked calls in with its 
own calls, so you can usually pick them out of the bunch fairly easily and this 
call doesn't have the jizz of Y-tScw.

Bringing up the local list is a great idea for looking for potential culprits 
though.

Is Yellow-throated Scrubwren a possibility? I've never seen or heard one in 
real life, I'm just listening to recordings of birds on the Eremaea list for 
Royal National Park.

The frequency range seems similar, if not the call, and the field guides say 
it's a mimic.

Hi Alan,

it was in tall wet sclerophyll forest at the southern end of Lady
Carrington Drive. The recorder was left remotely so I don't know the
position of the bird.

Thanks

Marc

Hi Marc,

To narrow down the possibilities, if you can remember, can you give us some 
habitat context? i.e. was the bird calling from the canopy, mid-storey or low 
down?

I'm assuming you were in wet sclerophyll forest if you had Rose Robin, although 
you might be in the period when they start moving out into drier habitats for 
the colder months?

Hi all,

I discovered this call on a recording I made in early March this year in the 
Royal National Park, NSW.

Rose Robin's were in the area and heard soon after this call ( here is the Rose 
Robin call for comparison - http://xeno-canto.org/146119 ), so it could 
possibly be an atypical Rose Robin call. However, I've never heard anything 
like this one before.

Would be interested to hear your thoughts!

Regards

Marc Anderson
