Media notes
In flight. Was recording a song thrush, when I heard the heron calling from the direction of 7 or 8 o'clock. Swung microphone around to pick it up; it flew to some trees at the top of the cliff/bank, where it appeared to be going to roost. Have left a long tail on the recording to include some faint heron sounds near the end. A Eurasian blackbird is prominent at the start, before the loudest part of the heron; and then a kererū / NZ pigeon can be heard in flight after the loudest part of the heron
