Thanks to all who’ve responded, this is a great resource!
The consensus seems to be that Bird 2 is an Eastern Yellow Robin. I checked
the PK birds app, and lo and behold, the call matched just right. I’ve added
in to the survey.
There’s more debate about Bird 1 though. Personally, I’m leaning toward
Restless Flycatcher, although it’s not perfect. The call itself is very
similar to one recorded on Xeno-Canto, just faster. Other suggestions
included other types of flycatcher as well as a Golden Whistler. The
property has Golden Whistlers all over the place, so that’s a possible.
In terms of the surveys though, I’m afraid it’s one that got away, as I
can’t be certain enough.
Thanks again to all who helped!
Bill

Hi all, Bill here
I’ve done a couple of spring surveys up at the Strathbogie ranges over the
last few days, and there are a few calls I had trouble with. Dead certain
I’ve heard them before but I just can’t dredge the birds up.
Can anyone help me? I’ve attached two MP3 files – they’re very small, but I
don’t actually know if the server will distribute them.
