Yes, definitely a White-headed Pigeon. I have seen one in the Melaleuca a year or so ago.
Thanks to all.

That sounds interesting David. The time of day, the single hoo plus the habitat of tall melaleucas doesn't quite sound like Powerful Owl. Several pigeons and doves are a possibility, as you suggest. Use your Morecamble app
and try White-headed Pigeon and Brown Cuckoo-dove. Both these species are reasonably see-able and hear-able along the coast. Emerald Dove also makes a single note call, but the call is quieter than the other two (or a Powerful Owl) but try it anyway on the
app.
If it is a Powerful Owl you might be able to spot it in the tree.
Other folk will likely have ideas too.

There's a bird calling here (5pm) from nearby tall coastal melaleuca that's making a "hoo" sound. My iPhone app (Morcombe and Stewart) has a recording of a Powerful Owl, making "hoo hoo" calls, but which otherwise are very similar to the single "hoo"
of whatever bird is calling here (Tura Beach, NSW far south coast).
Could it be a Powerful Owl or perhaps some kind of dove?
It's not very loud so can't yet record it.
