Newbie bird call ID [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Perkins, Harvey" <>]

Or even a Grey Fantail call could fit the description, depending on interpretation of written notation of bird song...

White-throated Gerygone might be a candidate, based on the 'pretty
whistling' and 'cascading' descriptors

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.

Where did you hear it, David, and what kind of habitat?  (It might be the

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

If that's intelligible...

Thanks
