Hey Peter,
RE below. John was telling the story of the first time that he heard the Night
Parrot call. And they could not work out what it was. One idea that came to him
[and keep in mind that this is thinking that comes from sleep interupted] -
'why is a Pied HE calling at night?'. The idea was [quickly?] dismissed in
favour of a parrot. Systemically other parrot spp [that could be found in that
habitat and perhaps call at night] were dismissed.
Now I put the Pied honeyeater down to remind me. And perhaps to consider what
qualities of sound might the calls have in common.

Thank you very much for posting all that, Ken. I hope others who were there can
add anything you've missed or correct anything you got wrong.
In particular, did Ken get the species mentioned below correct? The Morcombe
app recording for Pied Honeyeater is four notes not two, and sounds monotone to
me, not descending. Perhaps John was referring to the style of individual
notes, rather than the whole call?
