There are several Satin Bowerbirds about my place, calling a lot and as Peter Madvig was leaving after watching the WFHE, an Aust Magpie flew up to the power line above us and did some vocal mimicry of a Satin Bowerbird's call. They are known to do some mimicry but I had not encountered that one before.
