My street was serenaded at lunchtime today (Saturday) to the sweet call of a freshly arrived Olive-backed oriole.  The bird vocalised almost constantly between calls with a range of noises including sweet singing, screechy sounds not unlike Satin-bowerbirds but quieter and, once or twice, a sound that closely resembled a Grey buthcherbird.  Pizzey & Knight confirm the use of mimicry in the OBO's subsong.
