Hi Kin,
Thank you for the suggestion - I have indeed made use of that app to
identify many other recordings that I didn't know first hand, but it's
these last few that have so far been eluding me.
Interesting you suggested the Wattled Lapwing for the first recording. It's
been so far my main candidate for that one, but I've yet to find any
reference recordings elsewhere online where it does this kind of build and
drop in pitch, almost like an alarm. I've only ever heard Wattled Lapwings
doing steady pitched staccato notes, but I agree the tonality is the same.
I also have a vague suspicion that recordings 3 and 4 could be the same
bird, with the closest candidate I've been able to come up with being a
violet backed starling, but again no conclusive 'evidence' from either
online or the Sasol eBirds app.
