It is the still moments before dawn in the Mojave desert. 

The first birds begin calling in the dark, their voices drifting over the open plains. From rocky slopes come the echoes of a Coyote pack in full cry, while a pair of Great Horned Owls call as they patrol their territory. 

As the dawn chorus grows, we hear a variety of western desert birdsong; Sparrows, Cactus Wrens, Flycatchers and Thrashers. A community of Gambel's Quail call prominently as they socialise, and a tiny Hummingbird buzzes our ear.

Mojave, An American Soundscape - Album sample

With my many trips out recording in the field, this track personally for me is one of the most beautiful sounds I have recorded.

It was at 3:50am on the 13th of June 2012 on the banks of the river Waveny near Geldeston, Suffolk, UK. I had set up the microphones the evening before and ran a 50-metre cable back to a boat. 
Luckily there was very little wind to affect the recording and to my delight as the dawn chorus began, a Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos) came close to my microphones and started to sing his beautiful song.
Many other songbirds are singing and calling, including Blackbird, Wren, Tawny Owl, Cockerel and a Cuckoo halfway through this recording.
No wonder so many poets such as Tomas Hardy, Robert Browning, William Wordsworth and Edward Thomas have included this bird in their poems describing its wonderful song.

 It was pure joy resting on my bed in the boat wearing my headphones, listening live as I was recording this beautiful song. Not a bad way to start the day!
 The photo is of the location, taken the evening before as I was setting up the microphones and cable.

Although it is close to Sydney, Wollemi National Park protects an area of wilderness which is relatively unexplored. This is an early morning recording on a warm summer day.

An updated version of a track recorded back in 1999 during my time working for magician Simon Drake in London.  The track mixes some classical overtones with synth drums, arps and leads.

This recording was made in late spring in the temperate forests of the Sierra de las Nieves, Andalucia, Spain. Bumblebees are buzzing, and the warm air is full of birdsong. 

The full 5 track, 35 minute album is available as a mp3 download from https://wildambience.com/albums/andalucian-dawn/

"Amongst the many wonders of the Australian outback is the beauty of its birdsong.

In arid mulga woodland country, the first birdsong is sparse, with a Willy Wagtail, Hooded Robins and Spotted Nightjar calling in the darkness. A White-fronted Honeyeater then begins singing; a charismatic cadence of metallic sounds, soon joined by another and the two sing a spectacularly choreographed duet.

Eventually a rich chorus of birdsong evolves, among it the liquid tones of Crested Bellbirds, the low booming of Bronzewing Pigeons, and ethereal songs of Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush.

This un-edited recording allows you to experience the outback dawn in all its magic."

Birdsong over the Battlefields of Gallipoli

A warm summer night along the Carson River in northern Nevada.  Cottonwoods whisper in the breeze as crickets and cicada stridulate and poorwills and distant screech owls and coyotes call.  A beaver climbs out of the stream, stumbles through the leaf litter and begins chewing on a log.  Use headphones to pick up the subtleties of this relaxing track.

Summer night at the River

An exotic diversity of birdsong fills an open pine meadow in Northern Thailand.

Beginning very quietly in the pre-dawn, you will hear the last nightjars and owls calling distantly. Gradually the dawn chorus begins, washing over the landscape like an approaching wave. Francolins, cuckoo-shrikes, minivets, barbets, woodpeckers, bulbulls, prinias and many more may be heard calling near and far.

A breeze whispers in the pines, and to conclude, you'll hear the animated chattering of Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters as they swoop for insects in the golden light of late afternoon.

This is a dynamic recording that will transport you to a unique habitat rich in birdlife.

Thunderstorm at the lake

3 minute audio sample from the 60 minute nature soundscape; "A Wilderness Lake" by Mark Brennan, available for download from www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=115

This album reveals the rich soundscape of the Boreal and Acadian forests of Eastern Canada during the Northern Spring.

Recorded in two specially chosen locations, it takes us to the forested shorelines of Ayers Lake in New Brunswick, and Abraham Lake in Nova Scotia - both treasured locations by many who love the natural world.

The sounds come from a collection all recorded on location and feature many of the amphibians and migrant tropical birds to be heard in these places.
