Morepork / Ruru (Owl) - Auckland, New Zealand

Overall rating (3 ratings)

Sound effects > Animals

This was recorded in front of my house in the suburb of One Tree Hill in Auckland, New Zealand. It was recorded at around 10pm on a clear evening in August 2015 with a Zoom H4n.

You can hear a morepork. You can also hear the leaves of a big oak tree rustling in the wind.

A morepork is a kind of owl found in New Zealand and Tasmania.
