Hi everyone

 

While blitzing at Blue Range Hut, and at another spot of scrub on the northern extremity of the Uriarra Pine Forest I heard a relatively melodious bird call on several occasions which included some schirring whirring type noises.  I tentatively put them down to a Lyrebird (although there were no ostensible inclusions of other bird calls), but was wondering if something else, perhaps a Satin Bowerbird (which I observed collecting twigs) could make that sort of call.  Or perhaps something else.

 

What do people think?  Apart from casting aspersions at my inability to pick it, or even describe it adequately.

 

Cheers
