Note contenuto multimediale

The first calls here were produced by the juvenile, which calls again while an adult sings from dense viny tangles. Slowly, other individuals join in, creating a lovely chorus of at least 3 birds singing together. The calling lasts until it is almost dark, with Blyth’s Hornbills flying over to roost. By 6:10pm, the cicada chorus had grown quite strong, and the group of 7 birds flew across the road, one by one, as one bird still sang. Background includes: a few calls of Sultan’s Cuckoo-Dove early and then the Blyth’s Hornbills. The short interruptions in the recordings are when noisy vehicles roared past. Recorded with a Zoom-F3, using a Wildtronics MicroMic XLR Microphone in a Wildtronics Pro Mini Parabola.
