A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland.

Beach Stone-curlews (Esacus magnirostris) are found in northern coastal areas of Australia and are one of its largest shore birds, they're beautiful! #bird #drawing #illustration

Enjoy this gentle nocturnal soundscape from deep in the Amazon.

Such a diversity of sound at night at this recording location!

Just published three new albums recorded in the Amazon rainforest on my website. wildambience.com/albums/

Here's a sample from 'Cuyabeno Dawn' - put some headphones on and enjoy the sound of the rainforest awakening!
