about

I made sure to arrive well before the chorus began this time. Breath-taking walk along the ridge of the downs where skylarks were already singing from the ground, and the sky lightening in the east. Down into an enclosed, narrow valley where animals could be heard crashing away as I passed. The dewpond sits at the confluence of two of these dry chalk combes. I set the recorder up on the wooden fence, pressed record, and walked over to a nearby may tree to drink peppermint tea from my thermos and listen to the song unfurl. There followed:
Owls, at least four of them
Fewer pigeons than in previous recordings
A very gifted song thrush
More other birds than I could unpick from the clamouring burble, but yellowhammer and wren were prominent, and blackbirds kept the texture mellifluous.
