I have listened to some Spotted Dove calls on YouTube and the call I heard today was nothing like that. It was just one repetitive deep , muffled honking note. At first I thought it was a distant siren of some sort!
Hi Matthew. Yes that’s it! Exactly what I heard. At first I thought it was some distant alarm because it was so repetitive and then I realised it was coming from a tree. 😀
They are fairly common in Mt Taylor Nature Reserve, and I've heard them calling there before. I even saw one flying over the Tuggeranong Parkway earlier this week, from Mt Taylor and in the direction of Weston Creek.
