You are taking the position that it is normal practice to dub bird calls
onto sound tracks - for reasons of verisimilitude, etc, I presume (rather
like music is used). Do you know this to be so? I just don't recall
hearing calls on other episodes of this show or on other TV shows (but
maybe I wasn't listening, or alternatively the effect is so "normal" that I
"hear" them but unconsciously just accept them as part of the environment
of the show - although I find this a little hard to believe).
You don't think this was some "special" case, do you? For fun? For a
dare? For some other reason?
Regards.

Richard,
Not only did I hear the Boobook Owl and the Golden Whistler but I also thought
that I heard the call of the White-throated Nightjar, not long after the
Boobook Owl call!
