Halmahera: Weda Forest

'Halmahera: Weda Forest' - Album Sample

Recorded at Lake Nuga Nuga, Queensland on a warm summer morning. The sounds of Pied & Grey Butcherbirds carry across the lake from the forested edge along with the songs of many other bushland birds. Crickets trill from the grasses near the water and the hum of bees fill the air. Australian Pelicans patrol the lake, splashing in the water as they hunt for fish.

A longer version of this track is now available on the album 'Heart of Borneo: Tawau Hills' available here https://wildambience.com/albums/heart-of-borneo-tawau-hills/

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.

Under a full moon on an early spring night, several Australian Magpies sing and respond to one another with rich fluty melodies. Dingoes can be heard howling from further up the valley and a Powerful Owl hoots from a nearby forested slope.
