Identifying bird calls

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

Sounds like a standard Spot Pard to me – more than one bird. Sometimes 4 syllables (‘remote control’), sometimes 3 (‘miss piggy’), sometimes 2 (‘remote’ or ‘piggy’),  The relative strength of the syllables might depend on which way the bird is facing  -  as with other resonant far-carrying calls

 

Agree with Mark about the probable buffy

Thanks to everyone who replied! In this case I've uploaded a video clip to Vimeo, so I don't need to send an attachment to the mailing list. It's a short recording made on the Chalet Road on the way to Bendora Arboretum. I'm particularly interested in the birds calling in the first ten seconds, which I think are Spotted Pardalotes, despite the fact that the "normal" Spotted Pardalote call isn't heard until about 11 seconds into the clip. I'd like to confirm if the calls in the first ten seconds are an alternate call of the Spotted Pardalote, or something else entirely. There's a few other calls in the clip such as the Silvereye. If anyone can identify any other call and the point in seconds in the file where it occurs, I'd be much obliged! The video is only at 640x480 resolution even though the source was HD, because it was mainly recorded for the sound. The original audio was actually surround sound!
