Interesting after listening to the calls on the Pizzey app that Cicadabird
calls (north vs south) are quite different. The most obvious difference is
the frequency with the southern birds having a beat of about 3 per second
and the NQ birds much slower at about 1 per sec. Pizzey also notes " Birds
in far ne. Q have very different calls: e.g. a loud, ringing 'cree, cree'
etc."
Cheers
