Chiffchaff

Out and about last weekend, I recorded this Chiffchaff at Grindon Lough. It's a bit strange!



 
and how the same bird sounded later...

Northern Red-billed Hornbill

With even more skill luck, I've managed to bring this to life...



Common Wattle-eye

With a good bit of skill luck I've managed to resurrect these recordings




Yellow-headed Picathartes

or White-necked Rockfowl

it's why we went...



It's amazing what you can do with a point n shoot camera!
Sorry about the camera shake, it was a bit dark in the forest...
