This one is from Sensor-site BB3,.(somewhere) on the Sunshine Coast.  An Australian Owlet-Nightjar (AUON) was calling quietly and constantly throughout the six-minute segment. but towards the end a flat-hiss reminiscent of an Eastern Barn Owl is repeated on  three occasions and then there are three irregular notes which may be a distressed AUON.  There are also frogs and insect-noise and a fairy-wren calling. What do you think? Click on the blue text to listen.
