Paul,
And crows, ravens, rooks and a Tawny owl I recorded this afternoon.
There's plenty happening below 1K. Here's a clip, with a bass roll-off
below 600Hz:

Mikes in my car park, looking at bank of spruce with broadleaf
woodland to the right. Male Tawny Owl half left with a female
answering 3/4 right in the distant woods. Call down to 650Hz.
Here's another from last week, same position:

Count the species in that lot! Not all avian. Not all British. :-)
