I too agree with Pete Cowper and m("lisp.com.au","origma");">Carol Probets about the possibility or even likelihood of it being a Blackbird. Over several years, I have had Blackbirds (or at least one) here in Kambah, giving a call that has occasionally had me thinking it was a phone. Although I agree that the normal call of a Red-capped Robin could also be described as like a high frequency suppressed phone ring.
