So far two possible IDs, the Pallid Cuckoo and a baby Galah. I know the Pallid Cuckoo (far more irritating that this bird!) and it wasn't that (thank Goodness), but the baby Galah sounds like a strong candidate. (Thanks, Stuart and Geoffrey)

This morning there was a new bird call near my house (Deakin) that I don't remember hearing before - but too early to get up and see if I could find the culprit. Initially it sounded quite like the first part of a Kookaburra call, without the "laughing" part. Sort of a quick dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah... - some times modulated in frequency a bit (no pattern), some times monotone.

It sounded quite irritating so an initial hypothesis is that it was a baby driving its parents mad :-)

Is that sufficient information for an ID?

Thanks

David Nicholls
