I've published a 32 minute excerpt from the album "A Morning at Sweetwater Lagoon" on my Youtube channel. This album was recorded in Lakefield National Park, Cape York, Australia and features the sounds of a remote tropical lagoon early in the morning. youtu.be/dop2QimqGIY #soundscape #wildoz

These young emus took off in typical chaotic running style when I stopped the car, but then when I got out to take a photo their curiosity got the better of them & they cautiously crept back to have a look at the strange human sitting on the ground! #wildoz

Put some headphones on and enjoy this ethereal predawn soundscape. The fluty phrases of the Pied Butcherbird are sublime, like music floating across the arid plains. This is an excerpt from the album "Australia: Outback Dawn" wildambience.com/albums/austr... #wildoz #fieldrecording #soundscape

A pair of Red Kangaroos in the soft light after sunset. I love the earthy colours of the outback! Sturt National Park, Australia #wildoz #australia

Female and male Red Kangaroos stand looking straight at the viewer. The light is subdued and the surrounding vegetation and stony ground are out of focus.

One of the stranger sounds of the tundra and boreal forest in the far north. The comical calls of the Willow Ptarmigan, recorded in Dalarna County, Sweden. Such an unexpected and silly sound! #biodiversity #fieldrecording #sounds #bioacoustics

The superbly camouflaged Solomon Islands Leaf Frog (Cornufer guentheri). This remarkable frog species comes in an endless variety of patterns and colours. All of these photos were taken within a few hundred metres on Kolombangara, Solomon Islands. #biodiversity #herps

On a hike through the mossy montane forests of Kolombanagara, Solomon Islands, I found this incredible little grasshopper. This is a species from the genus Opiptacris, locals called them the 'rasta grasshopper'. It seems this taxon is endemic to this small island. #inverts #insects

A cool Australian insect sound. Not a cricket, cicada or katydid - it's a male Common Whistling Moth (Hecatesia fenestrata)! They have special structures on the edge of their forewings to make these very unmothlike sounds while they buzz around in circles in to attract a mate! #wildoz #bioacoustics

One of Australia's unique avian voices - the song of a male Brown Songlark. A melodic jumble of electric buzzes & scratchy metallic notes, it has been described as sounding like a wheel squeaking on a rusty axle! #wildoz #birds #fieldrecording #birdsong

Female Satin Bowerbird - she doesn't have the dazzling glossy ink blue of the male but is still a stunner! #wildoz #birds

Female Satin Bowerbird perched on a branch. The bird is an olive green colour on the upperparts and has an intricate scalloped pattern and warm yellow on the underparts. She has a striking deep violet coloured iris.

One of Australia’s silliest bird sounds – the calls of the Wompoo Fruit Dove. Despite the lack of vocal grace, they are still one of the world's most beautiful pigeons! In this sample a group of Wompoo Fruit Doves were having strange gargling conversations while tucking into some rainforest fruit.

Predawn song of a Pied Butcherbird in early spring. Before sunrise at this time of year the song of butcherbirds (and Australian Magpies) is often made up of simpler, more repetitive phrases than the typical full song heard later in the morning - but it's still sublime! #wildoz

Afternoon storm at a Lesser Bird-of-Paradise lek in the New Guinea rainforest. Soon afterwards it started to bucket down & it was a mad scramble to pack up & make the dash back to camp - we got drenched but it was worth it to see these incredible birds displaying! www.youtube.com/watch?v=exE8...

Rumble in the jungle! The cassowary makes the lowest frequency sound of any bird. An incredible sound to hear in the wild, you feel it as much as you hear it!

I have a love/hate relationship with cassowaries. Wonderful birds, until they walk straight at you with that unnerving look in their eye! This Northern Cassowary in West Papua rounded me up in the forest the day after this photo was taken & I ended up shielding behind a tree with heart pumping😅
