<<<< That four word description says "Red Wattlebird" to me. How would you say this call was different? >>>> Paul, I don't think the word "unusual" fits Red Wattlebird very well! It wasn't harsh like a Wattlebird, more of a polite cough: Heh Heh. To me it sounded as if there were two simulaneous tones: the lower coughing tone and a higher pitched sound which had more of the plinking quality of a frog. The bush in question was in water. I couldn't tell whether the call was avian or amphibian.
