Australian Bird Calls:
Victoria - Temperate South-East

 The temperate forests of south-eastern Australia covered by this CD extend from the Shoalhaven River (Nowra) to west of Melbourne and include the Great Dividing Range. The amazing songs of birds such as Superb Lyrebird, Laughing Kookaburra, Rufous Scrub-bird, Eastern Whipbird, Olive Whistler, Satin Flycatcher, Flame Robin and Australian Magpie are featured. Other more difficult to see species include Blue-winged Parrot, Latham’s Snipe, Powerful Owl, Rufous Bristlebird, Pilotbird, Southern Emu-wren, Crested Shrike-tit and Bassian Thrush. Calls of coastal species such as Little Penguin, Short-tailed Shearwater and Silver Gull are included. Where possible, a variety of calls of each species are presented. This allows the listener to become aware of the repertoire of sounds many of the birds possess, particularly songbirds.

This album has no music or spoken commentary. The natural calls of the birds of this region can be appreciated both as a source of pleasant sounds, or as a well documented reference library, particularly those which are difficult to observe. A list of the species, with call description and behaviour notes, can be found inside the cover. For those people with a particular interest in any of the calls, further information can be obtained from the author. This is another CD in the Australian Bird Call series and contains calls of 79 species.

Birdlife Australia, the largest bird organisation in the country, endorses and recommends this CD to anybody interested in enjoying and knowing the calls of many of Australia's wonderful birds found in this region of south-eastern Australia.
