I was on Warks Road (near Bendora Road) this morning and the lyrebirds were making a lot of very strange noises* (I could tell they were Lyrebirds because these noises had the right timbre and were coming from the direction of other, well-known Lyrebird noises). The peak singing seasons for male Lyrebirds is mid-winter, so when the males begin to practise for this I wonder if they start by getting all the silly stuff out of their systems first?

* One male ran away from me through the bushes hissing 'Wush, wush!", other noises were wails and groans and frog-like noises.
