or a composition so I will understand if you say no or put some provisions =
on it.=20

I can't promise a chorus at 4am, but I got some nice bellbird
recordings on the West Coast of the south island of NZ at the hapuka
nature reserve, which is a beautiful loop trail with a raised boardwalk
through a marshy area. If memory serves, it is near Haast. I can find
the details before your trip.
The bellbird is an amazing sounding bird. There is a prominant one in
one of the lord of the rings film, when the elves are marching sadly
through the forest on their way out of middle earth.
