help to identify a call

["Mark Clayton" <>]

Good morning Jude,

 

How high was the “dense foliage”, ground level, shrubbery or a taller tree? If around ground level how about a White-browed Scrubwren? Was the call slow or fast? Hopefully we can all help you to track it down.

 

Cheers,

Mark

Dear Experienced and Aurally Acute Wise Ones,

 

Currawang: 6:30 pm yesterday. weet, weet, weet, weet on one note followed as part of the same song but on a lower note, chirra, chirra, chirra, chirra.  From dense foliage a very loud call heard repeating as I got out of the car from work.  May have been calling before that.  Persisted for next 5 minutes. I gave up looking and went inside. Is it possible to suggest some birds I might investigate? 

 

S.Pardalote and YRThornbills were all sounding off significantly at the same time in a slightly removed area, but Starlings and GSThrush were all highly vocal in the same area from which the call was emanating.

 

Hopeful,

Jude
