Went down to the Georges River (Campbelltown) this morning and there were a couple of very noisy birds which I couldnt manage to ID. I saw one flying low over me. It had a distinctive white patch on the underside of each wing was brown/black and looked liked it had a light coloured beak. The flight pattern was a few flaps and then closed wings and Ide say it was a medium bird around the size of magpie lark. Its call was a frog like laugh very quick and single noted. You can hear it calling in the video at the beginning and at the end (in the background) almost like a very fast duck quacking!
Sorry I cant seem to work out the video upload thing but heres the link for it on my Youtube channel
Dollarbird
Thanks mate. Thats spot on! Ive seen dollar birds many times but always perched up high and never heard them making a noise.
You are very welcome. Thats one you can add to your growing list of birds you know now.
