Hello,
I love your forums.
I have recorded two songs of a bird which calls every morning at 3:20am, 4:20am and again in the evening.
I have not been able to see this bird, however would you be able to kindly identify this bird from the attached two song files ?
I'd love to know. Thank you for your time !

Once-off elaborate call
It's an Eastern Koel

Thanks Steve for your great help. It now makes sense it's a cuckoo. We still haven't seen it actually, as your article said, they aren't likely to make themselves seen.
but you can see them, they will still be calling after daybreak so grab your binoculars and follow that call

OK Peter, will give it another go tomorrow. Can't wait to see this cheeky bird.
