In the Refuge of a Fern Gully: Album Sample by Listening Earth published on 2017-12-15T01:52:58Z Birdsong filters through tall eucalypt forest in Australia's eastern highlands. It is a sunny morning, the day after unsettled weather, and a strong breeze is still moving through trees up on surrounding ridges. But down in the shelter of a narrow gully, among tree ferns and dense shrubs, birds find refuge from the elements. Here, even though there is no running water, the ground is moist and plant growth is dense. The birdsong heard is typical of these upland forests; golden whistlers, fantails, yellow-faced honeyeaters and grey shrike-thrushes call from the forest midstory. Meanwhile, smaller birds flit among low shrubs; scrub-wrens, spinebills, fairy-wrens and thornbills. From not far off, a superb lyrebird is heard giving a variety of percussive and sonorous vocalisations. This is a single continuous recording, with an interesting diversity birdsong and just a little of that ridgetop breeze to give a sense of the landscape. 3 minute audio sample from the 70 minute nature sound recording; "In the Refuge of the Fern Gully", available for download from www.listeningearth.com/LE/p-145 OR - listen to the whole recording at: http://www.listeningearth.com/play/album/85FernGullyRefuge.php Genre Nature Sounds Comment by StartDis Podcast I feel like I am in heaven listening to this Very relaxing 2018-01-16T11:33:11Z Comment by Listening Earth Fairy-wrens return 2017-12-15T07:58:53Z Comment by Listening Earth Lyrebird briefly imitating rosella 2017-12-15T07:58:39Z Comment by Listening Earth Buzzo, the bushfly! :) 2017-12-15T07:58:07Z Comment by Listening Earth The songs of two golden whistlers (whipcracks) 2017-12-15T07:56:42Z Comment by Listening Earth Percussive 'chopping' of a superb lyrebird 2017-12-15T07:55:53Z Comment by Listening Earth Piping of white-throated treecreeper 2017-12-15T07:55:16Z Comment by Listening Earth Superb Fairy-wren contact calls 2017-12-15T07:54:44Z
