Last Saturday, about 2 hours after sunset, some of us in the Bayside Friends of Native Wildlife heard in the distance a mournful descending call, repeated several times with a 10-15 second break between calls.

Rather like a deeper, and much stronger, Little Grassbird call.

It could have been a squeaky child's swing by a farmhouse across the valley - but the gap between calls was too long.

Any ideas please?

PS We were hunting an area of about 25 sq km for the Red-groined/Haswell's Froglet with no luck. But masses of Whistling Tree-frogs, both Marsh Frogs and Brown Froglets, together with a few Brown Tree-frogs.
