On a muggy and atmospheric day in May I head the unmistakable rumble of thunder. I quickly reached for my Omni mics and I put them out in the field. Thankfully the thunder continued to rumble and provided some wonderful deep and resonating sounds.

While in my hide waiting for fallow deer I decided to record some of the ambience of the woods and its inhabitants. In this recording some ravens fly above my microphones. This was recorded on a particularly windy weekend having had storm Amy the day before.

Ravens Tree Wind - October 2025

This recording was taken at Ballinclamper beach in Dungarvan. I was out looking for a rare bird when I happened to notice these small birds called common ringed plover. Having observed them moving around on the beach I decided to put my audio recorder out and walk away for a bit. Thankfully the birds moved around my audio recorder and made some great noises. 

For this recording I used my matched stereo pair of Clippy EM272 microphones with the Tascam FR-AV2.
