User's notes

Call was a bell-like trill, like an old-fashioned phone. Was swooping to the ground and catching little creatures.

Yes. Thanks Sarah2019 - I checked the call on http://canberrabirds.org.au/our-birds/canberra-garden-birds/cuckoos/fan-tailed-cuckoo/ and that's definitely what it was. Handsome little fellow!
