Description: Chorus of summer frogs on a bush dam in central Victoria, Australia: Pobblebonks, Marsh frogs and Crinias

never knew, frogs could sound like this...

I think Bob Marley found inspiration here for "could this be love"...

it sounds like little miniature sounds of a small tiny guitar with deep strings...

"Love is a gift from the innermost soul to another so that both can be whole."
The keys of true love (Part III):

💕💜💕

The air teaches you never to poison true love with unhappiness. If the love of your life is ever unhappy, your top priority should be to sow happiness back into the relationship. Because the filial self, which can enjoy many small things, helps your relationship to focus on the small, subtle and important things of true love.

Die Luft lehrt Dich, die wahre Liebe niemals mit Unglück zu vergiften. Sollte die Liebe Deines Lebens jemals unglücklich sein, so sollte es Dein oberstes Bestreben sein, die Glückseligkeit wieder in die Beziehung zu sähen. Denn das kindliche Ich, das sich an vielen kleinen Dingen erfreuen kann, hilft Deiner Beziehung, sich auf die kleinen, feinen und wichtigen Dinge der wahren Liebe zu fokussieren.

On Saturday, 12 November 2022, South Australia, including the whole Adelaide region, experienced an uncharacteristic extended storm of unusual intensity. Several storm fronts, arriving from the NW over St Vincent's Gulf, hit Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula. The storm has been described as "one of the strongest thunderstorms in recent memory",* causing flash flooding, wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h that tore down huge gum trees (many of which crushed houses, cars, and electricity lines), as well as flattening giant electricity pylons, leaving around a hundred thousand people without power. 

This recording, made in the Adelaide Hills (near Norton Summit), captures a sample of the first and mildest storm wavefront that day. (The recording begins at 10:30 in the morning. This abridged version selects two excerpts from the longer recording, chosen because of the poignant presence of bird calls audible between the peals of thunder. The highlighted parts of the spectrogram in the track image indicate the passages from the longer recording that were selected for this abridged version.) The microphones sheltered from the fairly light rain underneath a 'sweet pittosporum' or 'native daphne' tree (Pittosporum undulatum), native to southeastern Australia, but a 'declared plant' in South Australia ('a woody weed invading native local vegetation', due to widespread ornamental planting).

Travelling farther south immediately after this recording, I was able to intercept the next two storm wavefronts, which were far more intense. Although the storm was utterly awesome and spectacular (lightning bolts plunging into fields, exploding thunder tearing the atmosphere apart), it was impossible to find any spot from which to record the storm, because it brought with it an abundant lashing downpour of rain and wild tree-tossing winds. All the shelters in the state forests had iron rooves: the rain battering the rooves was deafening, drowning out even the peals of thunder.

In the end, I could only just sit and experience it. Which, after all, is the very best thing to do, with Nature. (Most of the time, at least. Not recommended when it gets this violent. Although I have to say that this was truly a very beautiful and awe-inspiring experience; and, personally, I'm very glad to have been out there to witness it. I'm also contemplating possible recording solutions, in case this ever happens again... Enraptured by thunderstorms as a spatial music of nature. All that I have said, here, is the simple truth.)

Night Train & Small Town Frogs

This album is our 100th Listening Earth album release, and to celebrate this milestone, we're returning to one of our most evocative nature recordings from the last 25 years.

In the small hours of the morning, a full moon illuminates a large waterhole at the entrance to Ormiston Gorge, in outback Australia. The landscape all around is epic and ancient; massive quartzite rock walls are silhouetted above sandy banks lined with pale-barked gum trees.

This permanent waterhole is a haven for wildlife, and here we listen into the night. A gentle breeze occasionally whispers through the leaves of the old ghost gums, while crickets chirrup from small reedbeds.

Subtle sounds come from all around, but the mesmerising focus is a Pied Butcherbird. It roosts unseen in a tree opposite, singing gracefully. 

The song of the Pied Butcherbird is renowned as being among the most musical in the avian world. But now, in the depths of the night, this bird is singing slowly, serenely, languidly, as though half asleep. And in this place, surrounded by an amphitheatre of rock, its voice echoes - one of nature's most sublime songs in a natural cathedral.

A myriad cicadas start calling as soon as the afternoon light begins to fade in Tawau Hills NP, Borneo. Recorded with Zoom F6 and Lom MikroUsi Pro mics. Listen to more recordings I made in Borneo at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCRlYmmK1sqrM_BB3xp6quofSq7fYdEPA

Intense Dusk Chorus In The Borneo Rainforest

The last days of February were colder and a solid ice of about three inches formed partially one mile out to sea. The Whooper Swans had arrived past week but what I think could be Bean Goose appeared for the first time. At 9 min a fox is crying. 

The sea water was rising due to an arriving low front. This and because the ice was new and solid, causes the crackling sounds. I was lucky to experience this, as it is absolutely not a common phenomenon, at least not here by the sea shore.  The picture with a big Venus and new moon was taken during the recording.
