I'll be in north west Victoria next weekend, and I'll have my recording 
equipment with me. It occurred to me that if we found an active Malleefowl 
mound, and I left the recorder set up unattended nearby for a few hours, I 
might end up with a recording of a one, or at least the sound of the scratching.

But is that legal or ethical? Could the presence of a tripod 10m from the mound 
frighten a bird off? It's only a whim, what do people think?
