Identify Bird by sound

I find it hard to identify a bird I can't see clearly (because I wear glasses), but I have the sound of him... a sort of "woCHA, woCHA, woCHA". Local native tree of red pompoms seems to be attracting them.

Hmmmm. Perhaps a little wattlebird, Leaanne?

If you have a smart phone or any other recording device, please do record it as an mp3 and attach so we can listen. A little difficult to tell, because it's very hard to describe a call's characteristics.

Additional useful information is where you are located by city and suburb.

If the woCHA you are describing is louder on the CHA (I assume, because you've capitalized, hence I think you want to accentuate that part) then it could even be something like a small New Holland Honeyeater. Can you tell the bird's size? How big? What shape? Bill size and shape? Colours?

Yes I can see how you could describe the little wattlebirds call as that , especially if there was a red pompom tree around. it is kind of an ugly call if you know what I mean

thanks everyone for your efforts.  The bird in question has vacated our premises and never returned!  how rude! Having eye surgery next week so I am hopeful that will also help improve my bird watching attempts.
