Its tweet eludes me (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and I just wanted some help identifying the maker of the call I've been hearing from my house in Mount Waverley, Melbourne recently. The call is 5 notes long, shrill, with the rhythm, 1-2, 1-2-3. Sometimes it stops after the first two. The third note is higher, and the last two are lower. I've only seen it once, from a distance, sitting on top of the high power lines that run through the area. It seemed about the size of a small parrot or honeyeater. There seems to be only one of them. I've searched through some sound databases, to no avail.

cheers

If you can record the call and upload it I/someone should be able to help you

Here it is.

Havent been to Melbourne for a while but it sounds like part of a Song Thrush call. Song Thrush's were introduced from Europe.
