Birdsong at dusk in Garema Place

I’m not often in Garema Place around sundown.

But I was last night and the twittering of the all the little birds in the trees as the rain fell gently was really very striking.

So here’s a little bit I captured of it just for you.

Thanks for this, johnboy.

This kind of non-editorial video/sound snippet should be encouraged on RA. I would like to see roaming cameras recording bits of Canberra as if they were worth recording in themselves. Streetscapes, parks, whatever.

Judging from the sounds, there are a fair few imported pests in those trees, like starlings and sparrows, but I guess that’s the way things are.

They are not singing, they are conspiring to come and crap all over my outdoor furniture!

Nice 🙂 Sounds like the little guys were very grateful for the refreshing weather. I can’t figure out the location though?

I thought I’d hear currawongs, but it doesn’t sound like dusk in Garema Place years ago. Are the currawongs still around?
