near Woodford, SEQ
A single call, repeated at intervals, as follows:
One long descending but almost piercing pheeeew, then a gap
of one or more minutes, then the call repeated... pheeeew, then gap
- call - gap - call -- etc. NOT a Fan-tailed Cuckoo -- a clearer,
steadier call. More ?echoey; more 'eerie'... The bird moved between
the trees during this time, but was never seen. After about fifteen
minutes it was heard no more.
Occurred along a bird-rich streamside corridor, in the midst of mixed
rural land -- dairying, 'hobby-farm' blocks, small towns, then
further off, state forest & pineapple farming; below the north end of
the D'Aguilar Range where sub-coastal moist country meets the start
of the dry, harder country running west through Kilcoy, etc.
Unseasonally mild-to-warm 'winter' days. The Dry has not yet arrived, either.
