Brown Gerygone perhaps

This little brown bird is feeding always high in my two big Sydney Red Gums, always fluttering and singing at the same time.   Thin high pitched "si    sue'   or  'si  s'i    or 'sue sue' frequently.  Sometimes a series of melodic notes as well.  It flies from high from one tree to another in a swift dipping or fluttering manner.   Is there somewhere on this website that I can hear a sample of the call?

the respective species pages have a species sample call that can be played. http://www.xeno-canto.org/ and https://ebird.org/media/australia/catalog have a more comprehensive collection of bird recordings.

Also check perhaps Striated Pardalote and Weebill calls

Thank you - the xeno-canto is a good site but my little bird does not match Brown Gerygone or other 2 unfortunately - so still searching.
