This call sounds like that of the koels I have heard at
Evatt and Mawson recently:

 I found this on the AustralianMuseumwebsite http://www.amonline.net.au/birds/


However, most of the time they just repeated the first
part of the call over and over.

Someone at my work has come to me asking about a bird
he has heard calling in his backyard the past few days. It calls in the
afternoon and sometimes mornings. Everything points to a Common Koel.

However he looked at the COG Photo Gallery and said it
looked most like a Fan-tailed Cuckoo and not a Koel. However when I played
the Cuckoo's call to him he said it wasnt the right call.

The only sound file I could find for the Koel was from
a Hong Kong Bird website and he said it didnt sound exactly like it.


His description of the call was (exact words) :  "DOOOOOO-Weee
((DOOO is constant pitch) Wee  rapid rise in pitch with rapid decent)"

He lives in Wanniassa. Has anyone else heard a Koel or
similar bird in Wanniassa recently? Are there still any Koels around the
suburbs?
