Media notes

A snippet of calls of a very distant Spot-breasted Ibis (or two?), presumably in flight over the forest as heard from the power line clearing in Ankasa NP at dusk. They settled before coming into view. I suppressed insect noise in order to boost the volume. Recorded using a Fostex FR-2LE with a Sennheiser ME62 & Telinga Universal 22" parabola.
