Media notes
Heard a morepork call from a kānuka grove behind the hut, and set out the recorder in the middle of the grove and left it running for the duration of the checklist (40+ minutes) while I did some night photography in front of the hut and listened for calls. Recorder picked up this morepork call. 100Hz low cut filter used in processing to reduce noise. A rustling suggestive of something moving nearby can be heard in the background. This wasn't me (I was out of sight of the recorder), so may have been a creature such as a possum or rodent
Observation details
Both more-pork and screech calls. Further calls of both types heard repeatedly overnight
