Cape Nelson Clifftop Heathland

This is a short recording which captures the sounds of the cliff top heathlands at Cape Nelson, near Portland. This is one of the very few recordings I was able to make during a recent trip to the Western borderland of Victoria, due to wet and windy conditions for the majority of the trip.

The recording is mainly environmental, rather than focused on bird call, and features the surf crashing on cliffs of the cape, wind in the heathland shrubs and bushes, the sounds of crickets, and the occasional bird call.
