we currently have the Channel Billed Cuckoos frequenting our place at the moment. I call them Pterodactyl birds and am rather eager for them to embark on their return journey.

What's making that machine like escalating siren sound?

This is an edit of recordings from the highland rainforests of the Huon Peninsula in Papua New Guinea.

These recordings were made during a recent trip to PNG with several colleagues from the Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Group. This edit contains some highlights from the four weeks we spent trekking and recording in the mountain forests above 2000m. 

In the near future I'll be making these recordings available in full, but for now, this is some of what we encountered.
