I live in Deakin so I can confirm that there was a bird call ,
possibly the same as heard by David Nicholls ,that I have not heard
before.
It was loud, and monotonous. The bird changed location with a call
at each new position before it flew off. Total time about 2 minutes.

We have lots of Pied Currawongs around here, and this morning they
were calling their usual calls at the same time as the (tok)eeee
bird. I have never heard the new call before. Pied C's have a
variety of calls, but for the ones I know, the notes are always
"smooth" - ie not modulated (fast vibrato, if you like).

Hi David,

This morning (ca. 9am) a bird I've not heard here before (western
Deakin) called a dozen or so times, flew to a nearby location,
called again twice, then flew further off, calling again a few
times.
The call can best be described as "(tok)eeeeee". The 'tok' is a
soft precursor and at a lower pitch to a rapidly modulated
"eeee". The calls were slightly less than 1 second apart. Not
a Crimson Rosella, which, while they do make similar noises, have
pure notes and not the modulated "eeee".
Can anyone suggest what calls I might listen to, to confirm the
identity of the caller?
Thanks
