Photos taken in Mildura this morning. I tried using Merlin, but I wasn’t satisfied with the suggested matches.

Discussion What bird is waking me up?

11 Upvotes

5.45am every morning for the last few weeks I have been woken up by a bird that sounds like a squeaky trampoline bounce or a slow squeaky wheel. Squeaky in 5 or 6 squeak intervals and stops after first light. We're in Newcastle NSW in a busy street. Have tried to find the bird but have no clue. Would love help

You'll spot their pinecone detritus scattered on the roads on the Mornington Peninsula, Vic.

The female wasn't overly keen to share the rodent.

ID Request ID from birdsong duet in SA

Can someone identify a duet call that I hear in my suburban Adelaide garden. I can’t see the birds.

The pair call back and forth to each other with almost identical songs. It is a high pitched melodious whistle of one lower note followed by 3 piping higher notes. I’d write it like this: — • • •

Spotted this alert Tawny Frogmouth tucked away in the shaded undergrowth behind a fence line. With the sudden warm weather bringing out a huge burst of ground insects and lizards, he seemed very content watching for movements. He was completely unfazed by us as we admired from a respectful distance! (Upper North Shore, Sydney)
