This was around 23:45 on a beach off the beaten track. The rain fell as these amazing penguins came home to feed their chicks and partners. These penguins are the smallest of their species but are extremely vocal. In this recording you can hear the penguins walk by the microphones and sneeze. The penguins first arrive in rafts and walk together on the beach before splitting off to their burrows.

There are not many places on this planet that you can set up your microphones and not hear people! The other reason I'm posting this is because it is a great test for the recorder i use and the microphones. There is no “Hiss” from either the microphones or the recorder. At the beginning of the recording i have placed a -30 decibel tone and set the record volume to 56.7 dba . What is amazing is that all previous recordings on this website have basically the same settings.
