More ‘mystery’ calls

Here are a few more ‘mysteries’ that I’ve extracted from the Sturt National Park analysis of 29 June 2012. I will also post them on the Xeno-Canto website.

1. loud_wnsw1

All I can think of for this is an alarmed Rufous Night-heron (Xeno-Canto Link)

2. supa_wnsw1

Sounds a bit like a Superb Parrot but way out of known range. (Xeno Canto Link)

3. sowf_wnsw2

This sounds a bit like a Rufous Songlark but there are no other of their characteristic calls present, I wondered whether it might have been a whiteface or redthroat? (Xeno-Canto Link)

Hello Tom

Could the first call be the short, sharp raspy call of an annoyed Galah? That’s what it sounds like to me.

The second call sounds a lot like the alarm call of a Blue-faced Honeyeater. I am a little more confident with that one.

The third call sounds very much like a Southern Whiteface. The typical Redthroat call/song call is much more musical than that

  Thanks for the input Mike, have had some comments thru Birding-Aus supporting #1. as Galah and #3 as Southern Whiteface but the Blue-faced HE is a new one.

  The second recording sounds like a group of Babblers. Perhaps Hall’s Babbler?

1st Galah. Been doing some recordings around home. Getting to know them.
2nd Yellow-throated Miner. A load note followed by a few softer ones. Being such a social bird, they have a varied vocabulary.
3rd Don’t know but had a lovely song. Did pick the Singing Honeyeater.
