This recording was made early in 2008 at Whroo on the same trip as the frog recording I posted previously. It's one of the few recordings I made with the MKH416 shotgun mic prior to selling it , and sounds quite good. The racket this flock of feeding Musk Lorikeets were making masks the relatively high self noise of the '416 fairly well.
Grass trees in the forest at Whroo
Recorded at nightfall at dam at the Whroo gold diggings historical reserve.
The evening was quite windy, and this is reflected in the level of leaf noise in this recording. The main frog species I can identify is Spotted Marsh Frog...
