I leave fairly early. From under the balcony where the dinner is I recod=rd the sound of the talk. Great laughter near the end!

Hello This Is P&p

usually the song thrush sings from a high point. I'be heard this one loud and close to the house before, but couldn't see where he was. Sometimes it seems like a battle between him and the blackcap. Finally voice recorder in hand I caught his singing - I still couln't see him. A window was open in the porch, I had the recorder on a small ledge and I waited. There is a fluttering of wings on the recording and I was astonished to see him emerge from about a foot off the ground from inside a hebe [one favoured by fledglings - so near the door and the cat flap! I'd been looking up. The end part of the recording has him on a dead branch, although not that high and singing quietly. The sound in the corner by the hebe is enhanced by the walls I think. The clearest thrush song I've recorded!

Thrush In The Hebe

"our" redstart has moved to the neighbouring [sheep] farm, I heard him - and spotted him high up in a tree. He makes occasional visits back to us.

collecting the sound of rain in rural and urban settings in Cymru / Wales in July. From under an umbrella, a windowsill upstairs, under a plastic roof. Frequently from under an umbrella. Worth a listen with headphones on...
