Five shrill notes of different pitches
sounding a lot like a naughty child
imploring you...
Golden bellied Flyeater (Gerygone sulphurea)
I hear this bird's unique call every morning - right from around 5:45 am. I have been hearing it anonymously (a lot like hearing a tune without knowing who sang it or what it is called ) for quiet some time.
That was, until today, when I chanced upon the identity of this hitherto unknown mystery singer, quiet by accident, on the internet (Bird call here with the best You tube video here).
