Song of the Lyrebird - Excerpt from the Album "Bellbird Forest"

Tasmania's rainforests and old growth eucalypt forests have been subjects to decades of conflict between pro-logging groups and environmentalists. Thankfully, significant areas of these unique forests have been gazetted as World Heritage  sites and hopefully other areas such as the Tarkine wilderness will benefit from similar protection in the future.

This recording was made on the slopes of Mount Field National Park, and captures the sounds of some Tasmania's unique bird species.

Midnight in Borneo's Rainforest - Sarawak, Malaysia

The montane rainforests of Gunung Halimun are one of the last truly wild places on the island of Java. Logging and intensive farming have all taken their toll on this densely populated Indonesian island, and only small fragments of healthy forest remain.

In the lush, steep hills of the Gunung Halimun-Salak mountain range, rushing mountain streams cascade through ancient mossy forests, and wildlife is abundant.

This album captures the gentle sounds of a mountain stream along with birds, frogs and insects from the surrounding rainforest from afternoon until about the early hours of the morning. 

With the natural 'white-noise' from the rushing stream, this album is ideal for noise-masking, as a sleeping aid, and for sufferers of tinnitus.

The full 50 minute album is available for download from https://wildambience.com/albums/mountain-stream/

‘The woods are the great beauty of this country… A fine forest-like beech wood far more beautiful than anything else which we have seen in its vicinity’ is how John Stuart Mill described a small patch of beech-and bluebell woodland, buried deeply in the Chiltern Hills and now owned by Richard Fortey. Drawing upon a lifetime of scientific expertise and abiding love of nature, Fortey uses his small wood to tell a wider story of the ever-changing British landscape, human influence on the countryside over many centuries and the vital interactions between flora, fauna and fungi.

The trees provide a majestic stage for woodland animals and plants to reveal their own stories. Fortey presents his wood as an interwoven collection of different habitats rich in species. His attention ranges from the beech and cherry trees that dominate the wood to the flints underfoot; the red kites and woodpeckers that soar overhead; the lichens, mosses and liverworts decorating the branches as well as the myriad species of spiders, moths, beetles and crane-flies. The 300 species of fungi identified in the wood capture his attention as much as familiar deer, shrews and dormice.

Fortey is a naturalist who believes that all organisms are as interesting as human beings – and certainly more important than the observer. So this book is a close examination of nature and human history. He proves that poetic writing is compatible with scientific precision. The book is filled with details of living animals and plants, charting the passage of the seasons, visits by fellow enthusiasts; the play of light between branches; the influence of geology; and how woodland influences history, architecture and industry. On every page he shows how an intimate study of one small wood can reveal so much about the natural world and demonstrates his relish for the incomparable pleasures of discovery.
