One of Australia's unique avian voices - the song of a male Brown Songlark. A melodic jumble of electric buzzes & scratchy metallic notes, it has been described as sounding like a wheel squeaking on a rusty axle!

Enjoy this gentle nocturnal soundscape from deep in the Amazon.
Such a diversity of sound at night at this recording location!

One of Australia’s silliest bird sounds – the calls of the Wompoo Fruit Dove. Despite the lack of vocal grace, they are still one of the world's most beautiful pigeons!
In this sample a group of Wompoo Fruit Doves were having strange gargling conversations while tucking into some rainforest fruit.

Predawn song of a Pied Butcherbird in early spring. Before sunrise at this time of year the song of butcherbirds (and Australian Magpies) is often made up of simpler, more repetitive phrases than the typical full song heard later in the morning - but it's still sublime!

As spring approaches, many Australian birds will be ramping up their songs! Over the next month or so on my Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/wildambience), I’ll feature a bunch of beautiful, unusual, iconic or otherwise interesting Australian bird sounds.

Some photos from my recent field recording trip to the Amazon & cloud forest in Ecuador. As always, local guides were invaluable in making the trip a success and helping me track down and record many of the sounds I was targeting. #fieldrecording #soundscape #sound

Just now wrapping up an epic six week trip recording sounds in South America, from the Ecuadorian Amazon to the temperate Valdivian forests of southern Chile.
Here's a few shots from the Amazon. Will post some audio samples soon...

Australian Magpies singing in the darkness before dawn. One of the best sounds to wake up to while camping in the bush!

I have a love/hate relationship with cassowaries. Wonderful birds, until they walk straight at you with that unnerving look in their eye! This Northern Cassowary in West Papua rounded me up in the forest the day after this photo was taken & I ended up shielding behind a tree with heart pumping😅

Some strange sounds from the Australian rainforest! The unique calls of Wompoo Fruit Doves, Spotted Catbirds and the sharp 'whipcracks' of Eastern Whipbirds make for an unusual soundscape. #wildoz #fieldrecording #rainforest #soundscape #biodiversity #sound

Bumped into this little guy when I went to retrieve my recording rig. He freaked out when he saw me coming and decided burrowing under my backpack was the safest bet!

Setting up for an overnight recording session in the Tasmanian highlands. If you look closely you'll see I wasn't alone!
