Summary

Description
English:  :
  • pied currawong and wonga pigeon from start
  • superb lyrebird 0:12, 1:25+
  • grey shrikethrush 0:57
  • faint piping 0:50+ eastern spinebill
  • red wattlebird 1:39
  • pied currawong sorrowful-sweet calls. Not sure what the significance of the calls are.
  • sulphur-crested cockatoo 3:45
  • eastern spinebill 5:38, followed by a red wattlebird, and a bit more back and forth. As shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPxxDpAneFg there is a red wattlebird nest out the front of the house; so they may have been defending their territory from the eastern spinebill, which typically is heard and seen around the back, particularly in dense bushes of the neighbours' backyard.
  • I think it's a dog barking rather than an owl (like the barking owl)
My apologies for the noise, I think IIRC I was trying to get closer to the superb lyrebird, walking through the bush.
I've normalised the whole track, then fainter sections again, which causes the volume to jump around a bit while making fainter more distant calls more audible.
Following is some information on my recordings in Faulconbridge, roughly at the provided coordinates. This is typical dry sclerophyll forest on a ridge with eucalypts and casuarinas dominating the canopy, in different areas. There are intermittent creeks (more like ponds along the creekline as of Nov 2018) at the valley bottoms east and west about 200 m away.
Feel free to send me additions for background species or suggestions for my recordings, or upload your edited version or excerpt of a species of the recording, linking to the original and you may let me know so that I can also link to it.
My recording device is a smart phone, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X.
