David,
Your recording is of a Crescent Honeyeater. The behaviour you describe also
fits a Crescent Honeyeater more than an Eastern Spinebill.

Subject: Eastern Spinebill?
There's a bird that has taken up residence in one of the wattles at Mt
Stromlo Observatory, which has a loud clear complex set of calls, which it
exchanges with another some distance away. I think it's an Eastern
Spinebill (I have heard more conventional "peeping" calls as well), but it
sits deep in the foliage when it calls so I can't see it. Here's a quick
and nasty recording of the call. Can anyone confirm or clarify the ID?
