Recordist's notes
a southern boobook (ninox novaeseelandiae), leaf green tree frogs (litoria phyllochroa) and many tinkling insects sing in the middle of the night. this was recorded on a saturday night and since the royal national park is so close to sydney, the roads a few kilometres away are very popular on the weekends with intoxicated drivers which can be heard in the distance. recorded with an AT BP4025 into an Olympus LS-100. jeremyh.bandcamp.com/ soundcloud.com/jeremyhegge
