There is very little to go on. I would first suggest a group of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters. As in, I think it sounds like their migration call. It could just as easily be lots of other things, but I don’t think you need to go to something so odd as a magpie practicing its mimicry. If was that, surely you could see it. If you want to make it into anything exotic, sorry there is not sufficient evidence to do that.

Hello there,

 

Sorry to be a bother, but does anyone know the bird in this recording?  It was very windy so a little difficult to hear.  Will probably be a magpie practicing its mimicry!  That would be embarrassing.

 

Kind regards.

Tracy
