A few larger waders fit this description
including Curlew, Whimbrel, Grey plover, Golden Plover 
Though Oystercatchers call with piping
at night they sound more excited than mournful.

Subject	[canberrabirds] Night calls

Can anyone tell me what the bird is that calls at
night on the lake in 
Merimbula?  I've not heard it since I was down there some months ago,
so 
I can't give an exact description but it's a mournful piping sound that
carries a long way.

Thanks

DN
