>Hi Grant Finlay
>Delightful to hear the Bellbirds singing on West Beach Ulva Island.
It took me back to our visit Nov last year. A Weka climbed all over
my >backpack looking for handouts-within touching distance- as we had
lunch on that beach. My Wild New Zealand CD is now available for
>minimal cost on iTunes including two tracks of Bellbirds. Are the
Australian Bellbirds the same species as the New Zealand critters ?
John,
I probably saw the same weka!
That recording was from a 45 minute piece that had a weka bumping
into the tripod while it flipped rocks looking for food, It made most
of it unusable... The little blighters kept on looking in my pack
everytime I put it down , thankfully I'd stowed my lunch in a plastic
box as they recommend when visiting the island.
Time to fess up.
I'm still learning about about our flora and fauna here in New
Zealand , I have no training (apart from location sound recording for
TV) and anything I do know has been learned from books or dare I say
it, the internet. ie: http://www.answers.com/topic/new-zealand-bellbird

Grant Finlay.
