Hi Richard
I too have spent some time as a couch potato watching re-runs of "Sea Change".
I think I've noticed the Boobook and a few other bits and bobs, but the species
that clinched it for me was White-throated Nightjar. There are no WTNs at
Barwon Heads or particularly nearby, which leaves a couple of possibilities:
1. The show is filmed in Victoria, but the storyline suggests somewhere
between northern NSW and central Qld, so maybe a cluey sound editor puts in
likely birds from that area?? or
2. It's a random process of including birds from some east coast sound stock
library.
At least they don't have Kittiwakes and Hreat Horned Owls in the soundtrack!!
Cheers, Lawrie
