Rufous Whistler and Barking Kangaroo

This recording is a brief excerpt from a longer night to dawn recording made in Gluepot Reserve. Gluepot Reserve is part of the largest block of intact arid mallee left in Australia and so the viability of threatened bird populations and other flora and fauna is high. Six nationally threatened bird species can be found on Gluepot Reserve and a further 17 regionally threatened bird species. In all, 190 bird species have been recorded thus far. Gluepot Reserve has a diversity of vegetation communities which support important wildlife other than birds. Vegetation on Gluepot varies according to soil types. However, the dominant vegetation on Gluepot consists of mallee woodlands.
