Thanks, Anthony. It's definitely the first time I've noticed the call
(and I have lived here since 1985), so it was clear to me it was a bit
unusual.
As I'm not a COG member, just a list lurker, I don't know how to add it
to the database. Is it accessible from the COG website?

David, it's an interesting record for a couple of reasons. The species
is a migrant and is not really a bird that over winters, particularly to
the extent of the fan-tailed cuckoo. From my recollection and
experience, the species is rarely seen or heard in the suburbs, and it
is also not really that vocal outside the breeding season. Great record
and worthy of inclusion in the COG database.

Thanks, Anthony, that's *exactly* what it was. And a new one for my
(somewhat sporadic) listing of local birds.

Somewhere (invisible) in a street tree outside my house in
Deakin,
there was a new call which I didn't recognise this morning.
Not a
parrot of any sort or a Mynah (all of which are pretty
inventive).
It came in bouts of three calls qwith several second pause in
between: "tee-err tee-er tee-err" as a descending whistle.
It went
on for several minutes at least.
Is that sufficient to identify it?
Thanks
