I am fortunate enough to live with the Rainforest all around me. I love to soak up the Rainforest sounds, especially when I am filming the birds. Friends have encouraged me to upload the ambient sounds as I already have a collection for my Rainforest Series of Birds to be published soon.
• Promo for 'Birds of So...
I have uploaded some frames from my Rainforest Film. The birds on the screen are just some examples of the resident species and are not necessarily in time with the audio.
The forest is a beautiful place where so much life, much of which is hidden lives. The sounds change with the seasons as new birds arrive in Spring from PNG. There are the dominant species who cannot be ignored such as the Eastern Whipbird
• Eastern Whipbird call ... and also the golden Whistler
• Australian Golden Whis... but there are also lots of subtle sounds in the background.
I hope you enjoy. I love to have this playing in the background at home. I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
