Recordist's notes
The first 40 minutes or so of a 12 and a half hour recording in the Jamison Valley. It only got to around 13C in the night so I was wrong about the temperature. And the valley was full of thick mist from around 9pm to 7am so I don't think the (almost) full moon would of made much of a difference. Also, I did actually record Wallabies munching on the undergrowth, no squeaking trees and Tawny Frogmouth's at the same time though! Recorded with a pair of AT4022's into a Tascam DR-680.
