Last Monday Neville Potter posted "For the last few weeks in the early morning there is a bird in the trees
next to our house which has a call like a (very loud) cricket. Being
still dark, I can't see it, but it seems to go on to make lots of other
(different) calls." I woke about 3am and heard two fan-tailed cuckoos trilling back and forth. They did sound a bit like crickets: This is a sample I found through Avibase http://www.xeno-canto.org/sounds/uploaded/BPSDQEOJWG/Fan-tailed_Cuckoo_song_Baliem_Wally_Snow_Mountain_2009-07-18.mp3 although what i heard didn't have such a long pause between calls.
