Could it have been a Common Bronzewing? I
heard (and saw) one at Kambah Pool a week or two ago.

call, wrong time of day
Down
at Kambah Pool early this morning, it was cool, overcast, and the bush was
unusually still and silent. A few birds were calling, notably the grey
butcher bird, a flycatcher, the psittacines and a baby magpie. But in the
distance I could hear the “Oooommm, ooommm, ooommm, ooommm” of a
tawny frogmouth. In WA some years ago, a pair of tawny frogmouths roosted
in a tree beside my house, and many an evening you would hear the same gentle
call. But I have never heard it in daylight.
Can
anyone suggest what else it may have been?
