Musk Lorikeets at Whroo

in

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.

Lyrebirds at Jehosophat Gully, King Lake National Park

in

Not really the quietest place to record. The surrounding roads are a favorite for motorcyclists out on a Sunday ride. This lyrebird was recorded on a short nature walk from the picnic area. There is a fair amount of background noise from people talking, light aircraft and motor cycles but the calls are still quite audible.
