My guess is Sacred Kingfisher - although please note that I was way out
with regards to the crossword answer!
For an online example of a Sacred Kingfisher call see

Subject: Unknown bird call
Hi,
I am taking a stab in the dark for sure, but yesterday morning I arrived
at work and heard a bird calling continuously in the east side of
Prospect Reservoir alongside Picrite Close. The call was made
approximately at three second intervals and it was almost like a
sparrows chirp, but a little higher kind of like a bellbird tinkle but
without the echoing on the end and continuously at the same pitch,
rather high. It was calling perpetually. Last night when I was leaving
at dusk it was calling again in the same area. I could not find anything
at all.
I drove into the reservoir this morning and heard it again in the area.
It is probably a very common species that I have just not heard call. I
have the BOCA calls at home so will scan through them, but if any of the
local gurus could point me in any direction it would help greatly. :)
Thanks
BTW, the Australian Kestrel was hovering again in the same general area
as my e-mail a couple of weeks back. Nice to see. :)
