Wartook bird

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are stumped by a bird we heard on our recent stay at Wartook, near Horsham and the Grampians, in the Wimmera area of Victoria. He thinks he only heard it at night; I think I may have heard it in the daytime as well as in the night. We never saw it, so have no idea what it looked like.

It's call went: oooh-i ooih-i ooh-ooh.

Any ideas would be appreciated :)

Thanks,
Sue and Anthony

Most likely a male Eastern Koel?

Hi there Windhover,

No, unfortunately that's not it. We spent the next morning going through all the bird calls on this cool 'lil site, and couldn't locate it.

The mystery remains ... :)
