Nightjar Song - MixPre - 5783 by Gavin Vella published on 2022-06-02T16:20:37Z My favourite bird, for many reasons and not an easy one to record, as even when you've identified a singing post, staking it out after dark whilst being bitten alive by mozzies, in the hope that the bird lands on the perch facing in your direction, it quite stressful but when it does come together, it's magical. You only hope that the female is ready waiting to judge the performance, as if she is, he gives this clapping performance at the end. You can hear her approaching towards the end of this song. Sadly, this is the type of sound that Soundcloud likes to destroy!!! 'HD' My ass..

I'm curious about the 'roar' or 'rumble' throughout the recording (as well as 5791). Was this recorded near the ocean? The low-frequency 'rumble' sounds natural, like waves or wind. Just curious.
