With kind permission
I'm happy to present bird sound recordings by the Dutch birder Leo Boon
on this page! Especially the voices of seabirds which is very useful if
you are visiting breeding sites at night on Madeira, Desertas and Porto
Santo. However, as you can see we lack sounds of Bulwer's Petrel, Madeiran
Storm-petrel, Little Shearwater and Berthelot's Pipit, so any one reading
this and who possesses recordings of these four species are very welcome
to contact the web editor.
The sound format is AIF, which work fine with many media
players, such as Quicktime.
