Observation details
I was in bed and could hear a morepork calling repeatedly, so got up to start a checklist. When I opened the backdoor it sounded quite close - possibly in a tree in the garden - so I decided to try recording it. It had been making the standard "more-pork" call, but when I came to the back door again ready to record it switched to making different sounds for a while, before returning to the standard "more-pork". I made several recordings, trying to move closer in between; headphones made it hard to tell where it was, it may have been moving around, and I'm not sure it was always where I was pointing the microphone. I stopped recording and stopped the checklist after it went quiet for an extended period; it subsequently started back up again, and I started a second checklist Bird not sighted at any point due to darkness
