Hi everyone,
Carol is correct: i did some work on the lyrebirds around Hastings Cave, Tasmania something like 3 years ago (I am in the UK at the moment with a very bad internet connection and none of my notes – but I wrote a paper for the journal of the Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Society – I will send details when I get home to anyone interested). I am convinced that the lyrebirds were still mimicing male whipbirds after 60 years, and possibly female whipbirds. The calls had degraded considerably, but were quite distinctive on the sonagram. A possible Pilotbird I decided was a Golden Whistler. No other Victorian species were detectable. I would be happy to send some sample recordings to anyone interested when I get home in late November.
Best regards, Richard
