Marley Lagoon, Dusk To Dawn, 8-9 February, 2014

Recorded at the edge of the littoral rainforest, not far from Burning Palms beach.
This sound was created by two trees rubbing against each other in the wind.
Recorded around 9am on the 29th of September, 2014.

Two Trees Rubbing Against Each Other On The South Coast

Superb Lyrebird calling in the early morning, not long after dawn, in the Jamison Valley. This particular area of the Jamison Valley is on the slopes of the Narrow Neck Plateau and is covered in lush, wet sclerophyll forest, which borders a small pocket of rainforest.
Some of the birds the lyrebird mimics in this performance are: Laughing Kookaburra, Satin Bowerbird, Eastern Whipbird, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Lewin's Honeyeater, Pied Currawong, Crimson Rosella, Pilotbird, Australian King Parrot. Many of the odd sounds it makes are pure Lyrebird calls as they do have their own unique repertoire. 
In the background you can hear many Bell Miners twinkling.

Superb Lyrebird In The Jamison Valley, Blue Mountains

Eastern Olive Toads (Amietophrynus garmani) sing in hypnotic polyrhythms on a windy night by a waterhole in the savannah.
This was the most intense part of a chorus which lasted for about 2 hours from beginning to end. At the beginning there were other frogs calling (Kassina senegalensis) but they seemed to give up once the toads began to dominate. I will post a much longer excerpt from this recording at a later date.
Recorded around 9pm on the 25th of November, 2014, at Mmabolela Reserve, Limpopo, South Africa during the 'Sonic Mmabolela' residency organized by Francisco Lopez & James Webb.
Many thanks to all those involved with the residency, and to the people who lent me money which made my involvement possible: Mum, Dad, Oma and Rachael B.

Eastern Olive Toad Chorus

Very short recording of Heleioporus australiacus. This is a very large (100mm) frog which is considered vulnerable by the IUCN. This is the first time that I have ever heard this frog!
This was recorded by a very dry, barely flowing creek on the lushly forested cliffs which looks over the South Pacific ocean in the south-eastern coast Royal National Park, just as the sun had completely set. I placed the recorder above the frogs burrow in the creek but unfortunately I placed it so close that most of the recording is distorted!
Recorded with an Olympus LS-5 as that is all that I had on me at the time. 
9.10pm on 23/01/15.

Giant Burrowing Frog (Heleioporus australiacus)

A few Red-crowned Toadlets calling in a small water filled ditch by the side of the track on a cool Summer's night. Recorded in Royal National Park, in the rainforest near the Hacking River, around 9.30pm on the 29th of January, 2015. You can also hear some Common Eastern Froglets (Crinia signifera) in the middle of the recording.
Red-crowned Toadlets are considered Vulnerable by the IUCN.

Red-crowned Toadlets (Pseudophryne australis)

Common Eastern Froglets (Crinia Signifera) calling in vegetation around a tiny pool of water after recent heavy rain. Recorded in Royal National Park, in the rainforest near the Hacking River, around 9.40pm on the 29th of January, 2015. This is a very common frog in the Sydney area and will live and lay tadpoles in almost any place that there is water, even contaminated sewerage water. I hear these frogs calling at a polluted creek near my house nearly every night so it's nice to hear them calling in the forest in clean water.

River Red Gum Forest In The Outback

As the light fades and the full moon rises.. the nocturnal cricket song begins and fluctuates, Crested Pigeons flutter about in the arid tree's of the Mallee woodland and Pied Butcherbirds sparsely sing their dusk melodies as the wind breezes through leaves and wood.
Recorded on the 4th of May, 2015 in the outback.

Dozens of Bibron's Toadlets sing on a beautiful cool night in the marsh beside Durras Lake. In the surrounds there were hundreds of these toadlets.. accompanied by many insects, the occasional microbat and the lovely waves on Durras beach.

My deepest respect to the rightful owners of this land, the Yuin people, past and present, who used to live and roam across this beautiful place.

New recordings from the Daintree, your support is deeply appreciated!: https://jeremyh.bandcamp.com/album/six-days-in-the-daintree

After months of little rain in the rainforest, only the oppressive heat of the tropics.. on my first day in the Daintree the skies finally opened up which brought out these stunning frogs in huge numbers and frenzied chorus's.

captured on kamilaroi/gomeroi country, during the worst drought the pilliga forest has seen in 20 years. 
currently there is a grand-scale coal seam gas project proposed in the pilliga by santos, if it goes ahead this will have catastrophic affects on the forest, it's surrounds, the underlying great artesian basin and the many sacred sites within.
