Ian and Edwin,
Was it anything like a Lewin's Rail?
Very curious,

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.
