Place

Kaimanawas (Google, OSM)

Description

Heard while walking along a forest road by night.
The recording doesn't really pick up the lower frequencies which sometimes followed the shriek. I also heard something heavy moving at one point.
I'm guessing the call was provoked by the disturbance of my torch and footsteps.
I did think at one point, quite possibly mistakenly, that there might be two animals as occasionally it seemed as if there was a call and answer.

Beautiful and eerie.
