Marbled Frogmouths make the strange gobbling call followed by a bill snap

Calls include Trumpet Manucode, Eclectus Parrot, Superb Fruit Dove and the deep whistles of a male Magnificent Riflebird

These loud, metallic whistles are from a female Eclectus Parrot perched high in a giant rainforest tree.

This is the most beautiful and true music of all music ...

An audio sample from the album 'Flute Lyrebirds of the Werrikimbe Wilderness'. The full length album is 95 minutes in duration and is available from https://wildambience.com/albums/flute-lyrebirds-of-the-werrikimbe-wilderness .

In the cool, damp forests of the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, the local Superb Lyrebirds have an extraordinary accent and are sometimes referred to as 'flute lyrebirds'. The song of birds in parts of this region is a complex, melodic phrase which sounds like a scale played on a flute. In winter when male lyrebirds are in full song, these unique melodies float through the cool misty air of the high altitude rainforests creating a magical atmosphere.

This is a sample from the album 'Cape York: Melaleuca Swamp', recorded on the the edge of a remote melaleuca (paperbark) swamp in Cape York, far northern Australia. The microphones were placed near the edge of the wetland, adjacent to dry tropical woodland and with an open lilypad-covered lagoon in the background.  Throughout the album there is a nice natural mix of early morning sounds from wetland and woodland species in this unique landscape.

In the hill rainforests of north-eastern Sabah, tiny Bornean Treehole Frogs (Metaphrynella sundana) call to create a magical nocturnal soundscape.

In order to make their calls as loud as possible, males of this species adjust the frequency of their 'toop' call to match the natural resonance of the small water-filled treehole they live inside. Often a number of males can be heard calling from different sized holes in the same area, creating a delightful soundscape of 'toop' notes at various pitches.

This is a sample containing excerpts from the one hour album "New Guinea: Lowland Rainforest Dawn" available at www.wildambience.com/albums/new-guinea-lowland-dawn-chorus

New Guinea is home to the largest expanse of rainforest in the Asia-Pacific region (and the third largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon and Congo). Vast areas of undisturbed forest can be found throughout the island and its biodiversity is simply amazing.

In 2019, I spent five days in an area of pristine lowland rainforest on the Birds Head Peninsula in West Papua. This album, ‘New Guinea: Dawn in Lowland Rainforest’, was recorded on my final morning at this location. Rising early, well before dawn, I placed the recording gear in a stunning area of forest I had scouted the previous day. The album covers a period of one hour from predawn darkness, through the rich dawn chorus and ends as the soundscape settles and the diurnal insect activity increases.
