This dataset contains audio files for TERN Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite. Long-term recordings of the environment can be used to identify sound sources of interest, characterise the soundscape, aid in the assessment of fauna biodiversity, monitor temporal trends and track environmental changes.

The site was established in 2017 at the Boyagin Nature Reserve with research plots located in Wandoo woodland (Eucalypt sp.). The core 1 ha plot is located in a dense eucalypt woodland. For additional site information, see Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite

In 2018 an acoustic recorder was set up to collect audio data for a total of 12 hours per day, split between six hours around dawn and six hours around dusk. The recording schedule aimed at capturing morning and evening bird choruses while minimizing memory and battery requirements. A long-term spectrogram has been generated for each audio file to aid in data exploration.
