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?
