Orapendula In Ecuador (binaural/headphones)

With most of Java's land cleared for agriculture, the few significant areas of rainforest remaining are vital havens for native plants and wildlife.  

This recording was made in Gunung Halimun National Park in east Java, and captures the sounds of a typical morning in the beautiful montane forest.

Java's Last Rainforests - Gunung Halimun National Park, Indonesia

Track two of of two from disc 4 of 4 from my new album of Peru sounds. This disc covers the evening and night sounds from about 6pm to 6am.  I recorded so much material from a five week visit to Peru (In March - April 2014) that I decided there was too much material to fit onto one CD, so I went for a four disc production.   One covers the early morning, 2 covers the mid and later morning, 3 the afternoon and this disc for the night.  Parts one to three are further down on the main page.

Wetlands Demo

The coppice woods above of the Moselle valley consist mainly of oaks, beeches, wild cherries, hazelnut or boxwood.
The blasts of spring wind move the outer trees into vibration and bring them to the crack, creak and rushing. If You enter the inside of the wood, You will envelop of a resonating cavity which brings the bird's voices to the sound.

Cudgegong River Morning

Cudgegong River Morning - Recorded in Wollemi National Park, NSW, Australia

This track features the haunting vocalizations of the Common Loon. The ambient "roar" you'll hear is the sound of gentle night breezes swishing through the treetops of large Red Pines nearby. (One critical listener calls this element "sublime.") Recorded late May, 2008. Skies were mostly clear; winds were light and variable; temp. was in the low 50s (F).

Chorus in the Tweed Valley

Recorded in the Makendawa reserve close the Kilani river in Sri Lanka. 

It is the dry season in late March. A storm which never quite brakes has the frogs in excitement. Many katydids call here and a Sri Lankan frogmouth can be heard. The siren like 'woo-wooing' from the marshey forest floor is a chorus of frogs I have been struggling to identify.

Harenna Forest - Dawn - Colobus Monkeys And Frogs

Calm dawn chorus with insects and Gibbons in the jungles of Borneo. Soft fog drip and occasional frog and bird calls add detail to the soundscape. Listen to more recordings I made in Borneo at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCRlYmmK1sqrM_BB3xp6quofSq7fYdEPA

Borneo Rainforest - Dawn - Gibbons

Night gently transitioning to day in the misty World Heritage Listed Gondwana rainforest amongst ancient Antarctic Beeches. On this January morning the subdued dawn light of the cloudy mountain top meant that the night shift of insects, cicadas and frogs continued well after the day shift begins at first light. For most of the year Eastern Yellow Robin leads the chorus but it is silent or absent on this morning. The frog calling is the "Pouched", "Marsupial" or "Hip-Pocket" frog, Assa darlingtonii, named for the brood pouches on the males, where the tadpoles travel to after hatching. (Thanks Jeremy).White-throated treecreeper is first followed at 4:30 by Alberts Lyrebird calling a little tentatively out of breeding season. Other species in this recording include Lewins Honeyeater, Brown Cuckoo Dove, Satin Bowerbird, Yellow-throated Scrubwren, White-Browed Scrubwren, King Parrot, Crimson Rosella, Bassian Thrush, Grey Shrike-thrush, Grey Fantail, Green Catbird, and the Eastern Whipbirds are feeding in pairs with an adult and a juvenile together. 
The recording begins 5 minutes before first light and continues till five minutes after dawn. Altitude 1140m ASL. Sennheiser MKH8020 in Iso-Binaural Stereo, SD702.

Gondwanan Forest Awakens

Summer nights in Finland are very short and full of life. From dusk to dawn voices change every few minutes, I just didn't know where to cut this track. The recording was made near a bird watching tower (Lintutorni) at Latosaari, Suomenperänjärvi, Finland.

Headphones recommended.
