 Hi Kin,

 


  Thank you for the suggestion - I have indeed made use of that app to iden=
tify many other recordings that I didn't know first hand, but it's these la=
st 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 ref=
erence recordings elsewhere online where it does this kind of build and dro=
p in pitch, almost like an alarm. I've only ever heard Wattled Lapwings doi=
ng 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 b=
ird, with the closest candidate I've been able to come up with being a viol=
et backed starling, but again no conclusive 'evidence' from either online o=
r the Sasol eBirds app.

In case you don't know this already, the Sasol eBirds of Southern Africa ap=

on of calls for reference purposes.
      
       
      
      
        (I'm not expert enough on the calls I should really be answering, b=
