Experience the Most Biodiverse Campus in Ireland by Sound

Fishing port ambience, recorded in Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland. This is a location I know very well and have visited since I was a young boy, often looking for gulls and turnstone which feed on fish scraps on the shore. Listen as the waves gently lap against the shore, with herring gulls, black-headed gulls, hooded crows, rock pipits, and more, calling in the background.

À l'heure de l'angélus le Merle noir (Turdus merula) se poste dans le jardin et chante jusqu'aux premières étoiles. 

As Angelus bells ring, the Blackbird (Turdus merula) stands in the garden and sings until the first stars.

MAPPING THE CORRIB SOUNDSCAPE

One of the ways to explore a place is through its sounds - & in this episode, Dan Pope took me on a soundwalk along the River Avon to find out what we could hear.

We talked about what soundwalks are, Dan's work as an acoustic consultant, how soundscapes can be added to places, and what people can use to explore sounds in their area.  There are some resources, a map and lots of links on my website:
