www.urbanbirder.com.au is a Melbourne, Victoria (Australia) site that deals 
with birds in the 'urban' environment. I would imagine that those birds feel it 
is their 'natural' habitat.

Whilst pristine recordings are very nice, I think they are becoming more 
difficult to obtain for those of us that aren't able to devote  time to 
recording in remote locations. I think I'm one of that group of people that, 
having come into recording more recently, can accept the intrusion of human 
noise (and in fact humans) in what should otherwise be a more pristine sound. I 
don't think it makes a recording any less a nature recording though.
