Media notes
Noticed a magpie calling and cycling through a repertoire of mimicry of other bird species. By the time I started recording the magpie had, of course, stopped incorporating mimicry into its call to the same extent, but on the recording, mimicry of Silver Gull (0:12), Grey Butcherbird (0:23, 1:07) and Red Wattlebird (1:01) can clearly be heard (as well as possibly a dog(?) at 0:08).
Observation details
Magpie perched in Victory Park just behind the Lifesaving Club, warbling and cycling through mimicry of various species.
