hi Russ & Phil,
this is defnitely NOT a White-throated Nightjar, for that i can be absolutely
sure!!
but it does sound to me like it's possibly a Large-tailed Nightjar...but not
convincingly!! tempo is good but tone is not...
i would be putting my money on a very early dawn call from a Hornbill
(Helmeted) Friarbird more than anything else...
cheers, martin cachard, cairns 0428 782 808
