This is not the best recording i've ever made and certainly one of the shortest but I just love that a Butterfly makes this sound!
The Variable Cracker Butterfly (Hamadryas Feronia) can be found in Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Guyana. They are often found head down on tree trunks and when another Butterfly flies in the close vicinity the males fly out and make the "cracking" sound where their name comes from.
I recorded this in the gardens of Rock View Lodge during our journey through the Rupununi in 2012
Recording gear: Sennheiser MKH416 and MKH30 into a Sound Devices 702.

Listen to the sounds of the Yellow-banded poison dart frog, apparently they have one of the loudest calls of all the poison dart frogs. Thanks to my awesome guide @leon_moore_nature_experience for helping me record these cool little frogs.

The Guianan cock-of-the-rock is a fascinating bird to see and an exciting animal to go in search of. They live near rocky outcrops where the female builds her nest. They are found in the tropical rainforests of French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Southern Venezuela, Eastern Colombia and Northern Brazil Amazon region.
They are lekking birds so the males do an enchanting display dance on the ‘court’, an area within the lek where the males display to attract a female.
On this trip to Guyana alongside my guide @leon_moore_nature_experience who has expert knowledge of both the wildlife and area we were able to locate a lek spot, spend a few hours observing the birds and place my microphones close to the court to get an sonic insight into the world of this magical bird.
In this recording you can hear the male bird landing and taking off from his court, display movements and a variety of calls.
For anyone wanting to visit Guyana, Leon Moore runs expert guiding and tours, check him out at:

IaTF06 Nightlife
/sound-library/nightlife/
Nightlife is an collection of authentic nightclub based crowd ambiences, professionally recorded over an entire evening outside a busy and popular nightlife location in London.
This unique library captures audible moments beginning with a few small groups of revellers, excitable but sober as they arrive for their evening out. Then the ambiences journey through to the earlier hours of the next morning and throwing out time, when larger crowds emerge louder, looser and perhaps drunker than before.
These expressive tracks perfectly capture the atmosphere of a night evolving, featuring genuine nightlife walla and including ‘spot’ type effects of reactions such as; whoops, shouts, cheers and screams.
