Observation details
Very strange nocturnal call coming from gum tree - enough to make me check it out. Couldn’t see anything with bins in the dark, but managed to catch the end of the call as an audio recording. It could be a mangled Kookaburra call, or perhaps a begging call of some large juvenile bird, like one of the migratory cuckoos or an owl? The call went for quite a bit longer than the recording - I only caught the tail end. ... Sulphur-crested Cockatoos have bred here - and they called some 10 minutes later ... perhaps this is a juvenile begging call from that species.
