Night In The Borneo Jungle

The sounds of the jungle lull me to sleep, weaving into my dreams and making me feel like I belong here in this landscape. Longer version at https://youtu.be/2E3Idf4Q3UU

Night in the Amazon jungle

It's half past seven in the evening. The color of the sun is turning golden but it is still hot. It is 26 degrees outside. There are no boat owners or passengers in the harbor. There is one small building in the port where a ticket seller sits despite the fact that the last ferry of the day to Piirissaare departed half an hour ago. The water of the lake sings against the ferry's landing bridge. There are swallows nesting right under the bridge and motor boats can be heard from the lake

An audio sample from the album 'Flute Lyrebirds of the Werrikimbe Wilderness'. The full length album is 95 minutes in duration and is available from https://wildambience.com/albums/flute-lyrebirds-of-the-werrikimbe-wilderness .

In the cool, damp forests of the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, the local Superb Lyrebirds have an extraordinary accent and are sometimes referred to as 'flute lyrebirds'. The song of birds in parts of this region is a complex, melodic phrase which sounds like a scale played on a flute. In winter when male lyrebirds are in full song, these unique melodies float through the cool misty air of the high altitude rainforests creating a magical atmosphere.

The main goal of my trip to Lorraine in the east of France was to record Common Midwife Toads. The location was an old disused quarry just outside Lérouville and knowing the toads begin calling after dusk, I arrived early to have time to scope out the location. I was immediately greeted by a group of very vocal Pool Frogs, their calls echoing around the quarry. I captured this recording much later that night, just after midnight.

In the hour before sunrise, the calls of Tawny Frogmouth and Southern Boobook can be heard, along with crickets and other insects. Willie Wagtails sing sweet short melodies and later in the track an Australian Owlet Nightjar occasionally ‘chirps’ .

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. Recorded in Girringun National Park in far north Queensland. 

Other bird species heard on this track include Yellow-breasted Boatbill, Superb Fruit Dove, Grey-headed Robin & Lewin's Honeyeater.

One of my favourite soundscapes to listen to and record is that of rainforest hills. Get immersed into the complex layers of calls as the day progresses. Long version at https://youtu.be/pXi0lIfNkA0
