Hi Guys,
Since spring has started there has been 1 bird that is "calling" between 3am to 5:30am, it stops when the sun comes out.
There's normally 13 seconds between each call but to shorten the mp3 file I cut out the gaps.
I'm quite certain the bird is nested up a tree somewhere and not on the ground as there are a lot of cats around the area.

Could you please tell me which bird this is?
Regards
It's a Pied Butcherbird.
It's a male doing it pre-dawn call. He is looking for a female under the cover of darkness.
Lovely Sinth!
Butcherbirds have beautiful calls
He wakes me up every morning.
I've tried ear plugs, moving to different parts of the house and putting a fan on (white noise).
The problem is that it is dead silent apart from this one bird. If it was a collection of birds it would be ok.
Luckily it's a seasonal thing so he should be stopping momentarily.
I dont know how that can bother you!
there is nothing nicer than being 'woken' by birds singing, especially by one as nice as that.
