El Rìo Sagrado   (The sacred river)

During a severe wind storm, I revisited the yellow popular from this winter storm recording: https://soundcloud.com/acousticnature/tree-creaks-inside-an-oak

This time, I stuck a pair of EM272 microphones inside the tree cavity instead of putting my SASS in front of the opening. I mainly did this to protect the mics from the heavy rains that came during the night. 

I was really amazed at how well the tree insulated the mics from the outer world's sounds. Even the torrential downpour we received sounded like a gentle drizzle. 

When I popped the SD card into my computer the next morning, I was surprised that the popular made less noise than the previous recording, despite the increased wind speeds. 

I think this may have been due to 2 things: the warmer weather and deeper cracking along the the main trunk. I believe both these factors gave the tree more "wiggle-room" and caused less direct rubbing.

This recording is a compilation of 27 interesting clips throughout the night ranging in length from 3-111 seconds. 

Thanks for reading and listening ♫

I've been recording throughout Deep Creek National Park (formerly Conservation Park) for several years, and throughout all seasons. This recent recording was different from any other I've made here. It was dominated mainly by Australian Ravens and Magpies, although a few other birds make an appearance, such as what I believe was an energetic little Brown Thornbill in the foreground, at one point. In other recordings made during the same morning at other nearby locations, Grey Shrike-thrushes and White-throated Treecreepers, amongst others, could be heard.

What I like most about this recording is the recurring, distant, beautiful, wistful call of a Magpie somewhere much farther up the valley: its song is sometimes occluded by the nearer Ravens and Magpies; and sometimes, in more quiet intervals, its song reverberates gently, quietly, and elegantly down the valley.

Can be listened to with speakers or headphones; but quality open-backed headphones are especially recommended.

Unprocessed and unedited recording (96/24 WAV > 48/24 FLAC).

Recorded on land of the Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri people that is now a National Park.
