Field recording of the dawn chorus in a forest in Midlothian, Scotland.

Date: 16 May 2023.

Processing applied: highpass filter (140Hz), normalisation.

Notes: This is a short excerpt from a much longer recording, taken on a Sunday morning. It is largely free of any human-derived sounds, with only the natural sounds of the forest being audible.

Field recording of the dawn chorus in a forest in Midlothian, Scotland

19 May 2024, begining at 03:58 in the morning, and lasting for around 2 hours

Processing applied: highpass filter (120Hz), very light denoising, extremely light compression, normalisation

Notes: This 2 hour recording, taken on a Sunday morning, is essentially devoid of any human-derived sounds. Only the sounds of the dawn chorus are present, along with an occasional creak of a tree, or snap of a twig. The dynamic range is rather large, at least 30dB, so the earlier parts are much quieter than the middle section - i.e., just as one would expect from a dynamic event such as the dawn chorus.
