Early morning on Bennets Gorge Track

This recording was made at Gundabooka NP shortly after dawn. I'd initially positioned the mikes in a spot that had few birds calling so I moved the mikes about 100m to a stop just off the road to Bennet's Gorge where Grey Shrike Thrush were calling. Species that can be heard in the background include Crested Bellbird, Rufous Songlark and Blacked Eared Cuckoo and Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoo.

The recording was made with an Oade Brothers modified Tascam HDP2 and a pair of Audio Technica AT3032 omnidirectional Mics.

I've added a short 7 second section of predawn stillness to the end of this recording to give an idea of the level of noise generated by the recording chain.
