For me, next to the Chiming Wedgebill the Pied BB has one of the more
haunting calls of our birds and it will be a challenge to capture a fraction
of the quality. The sort of stuff that gets the endorphins flowing on a
beautiful morning!
It so happens that I added it (the PBB of course!) to my yard list this
morning- at Bolton Point on Lake Macquarie. Hadn't heard it in the 5 years
I've been here.

Hi birders,
Sometimes one hears about a project which really fuels the imagination and
interest. Anyone like me who is interested in birdsong and music will find
the work of Hollis Taylor fascinating.
Hollis is an accomplished violinist who is embarking on doctoral studies on
the song of the Pied Butcherbird. I won't try and describe the project here
but you can read more about it on her website http://www.hollistaylor.com.
Hollis has been in contact with me and as a result she will be making
recordings of birds in the Capertee Valley (among other places). If anyone
has Pied Butcherbird recordings from anywhere in Australia that they would
like to make available to Hollis, she would be most grateful. Please contact
her directly at: Also, if anyone knows of any good PBs that
would be relatively easy for her to record, I'm sure she would also love to
hear from you. She's based in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.
Cheers,
Carol
