It was in a thick pittosporum bush/tree in my front garden (or possibly in the Silver Birch next to it). I have heard it before, but never so close.

I'll have a listen to the bird calls CD tonight and see if I can find it. It was a pretty whistling call, starting simply and cascading into a much more complex pattern. The call was repeated several times and lasted about 2-3 seconds each repeat.

What bird makes a (loud) high whistling "chip-chip-chip-cheep-cheep-cheep-deedle-eedle-eedle-eeee"?

If that's intelligible...

Thanks
