Haven’t seen much audio of Grey Goshawk so I thought I’d put up one that I found calling today near Dayboro, I used the video facility on the Canon EOS 7D but ‘stripped’ off the visuals, sadly there was a lot of background-noise, lawn-mowers, cicadas etc. I have uploaded the video to the HBW website but I thought that it would be better to show ‘audio only’ on this site.

Just when you thought it was safe to avoid bird-audio, I’ve found another exciting clip!
This one is from Sensor-site BB3,.(somewhere) on the Sunshine Coast. An Australian Owlet-Nightjar (AUON) was calling quietly and constantly throughout the six-minute segment. but towards the end a flat-hiss reminiscent of an Eastern Barn Owl is repeated on three occasions and then there are three irregular notes which may be a distressed AUON. There are also frogs and insect-noise and a fairy-wren calling. What do you think? Click on the blue text to listen.
Have heard this before but for the life of me I can’t remember it, it was taken from a sensor that I was analyzing from the Sunshine Coast, unfortunately the sensor ‘owner’ is overseas for several weeks so location details are not available but it was from a recording taken on 15 December 2010 at 04.12 hrs. Eastern Koel, insects and frogs can be heard in the background. (Ed. It is a Bush-hen, see below)

Note: Thanks to Nick Leseberg for correctly identifying this call as a (Pale-vented) Bush-hen (Amaurornis moluccana)
