Whooop-Whooop usually/often followed by a chuck-chuck-chuck-chuck (this was
the bit that sounded like a kookaburra clearing his throat). Maybe not
even a bird. We - Hilary and I - have heard this previously, never
predictably. We've both been out with troches looking for it and never
found it. Any ideas?"
