Around 1650 BST on a windy day in May 2016
A Skylark sings above a tremendous roar of the Atlantic winds.  The shrill calls of Palearctic Oystercatchers combine with the drones of occasional insects, the falling songs of Meadow Pipits, vocalisations from Herring Gulls, metallic twitters from Barn Swallows, and the sharp notes of Pied Wagtails.
Listening to this short soundscape is by no means a recipe for relaxation!

Lifelong amateur naturalist, birds and geology with a bit of marine biology thrown in from diving days.
New to sound recording....lot to learn I know.
Constructive feedback very welcome.

Information technologist by trade.  Photographer with a keen interest in the natural world and its inhabitants.  Beginning to learn about recording sound; mostly so that I can learn to better recognise the creatures I hear but don't see when out and about.

A member of the UK-based Wildlife Sound Recording Society, I have been capturing Natural Soundscapes for over twenty years, in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America.

Birder and bird photographer since 1979. I became fascinated on three trips to Costa Rica where the sounds of the natural world are as stimulating as the sights. My suburban home island on the coast of Georgia is a mad house of noise and it sits on a major air route so working here is challenging. In December, 2014 I took the big step to a Sound Devices 722. In 2019 I added a Zoom H4n Pro for bird recordings with a Sennheiser ME66, and then recently bought a pair of Sennheiser MKH 8020s to match up with the SD 722 for soundscapes.  

I see few recordings of the natural world from Georgia in the United States, so my goal has been to contribute from my home environment, on the coast, the mountains in the northern part of the state, and wherever else I have the pleasure of travel.
