I’ve been thinking about birds a lot, and especially miss the chatter of Kittewakes from the cliffs of my hometown in the North East. I started to record the birds directly around me, which led to live streaming for Soundcamp’s Reveil project on international dawn chorus day with my good pal Oliver. We streamed the chorus from Pony Wood, located within the Fairfield Nature Reserve in Lancaster. The recording of our Live stream can be heard here.
We are hoping to continue to record the dawn chorus throughout the weeks in various locations around Lancaster to capture the beautiful communications of birds locally in the silence of the morning.
