Does anyone know any more details about the recording referred to in that
article? ("playback of one of these calls elicited a response, on at least two
occasions a bird was heard flying past at about head-height and then landed in
the Spinifex".)
I wasn't aware there were any recordings of NP. I assume this recording can't
definitely be attributed to NP, but has anyone worked out what else it might
be, and is it available?
