Today around 8am in Campbell Park I witnessed a 'communal display' [see HANZAB] of SBCs.

This consisted of four birds in the top of a dead tree a little to the west of the tree where the Painted Honeyeaters bred in the late 2010s. 

They were wing quivering and giving, not the 'call not', but an 'exciting chirruping' [as per HANZAB voice section], a call I had never heard before.

Other migrants present at Campbell Park were both Gerygones, Rufous Whistler and Noisy Friarbird.
