Seven males black grouse were present on their lekking ground this morning but since no female was there, they only played for 20 minutes around 5AM and then 10 minutes around 8AM. This recording was "destroyed" by a redwing in the end that sang straight into the microphones! Huddunge, Uppland. April 9, 2024.

Tuesday the 7th of May.  Got on the 1.08pm to Tartu from Tallinn.  Not many people on board.  About half way we had to complete our journey by bus.  Got left at Tartu train station.  Had a small lunch there.  Then right on time Robert arrived and so we went to the supermarket to stock up for the coming days.  Nice to catch up on the way out to Palupohja.  That evening I recorded a Redwing and after a while a Thrush Nightingale in song in the Nature school garden.   During the night it became flat calm and so quiet that it seemed like the sound had been turned off.  
Recording 4156.

Evening Chorus (2) - 7th of May 2024-9.43pm - Palupohja

A redwing singing. Every spring they fill our town with their melodious, long-winded tunes.

A cabinetmaker by trade.  I have been recording birds for over 42 years.  Even as a seven year old I loved to hear the sound of birds. 
I believe that birdsong is a perfect reflection of the natural environment and yet a part of the experience of the environment.  
Over the years I have made some wildlife films and videos.  For wildlife recording I have been around Ireland, Wales, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Belize, Guyana, Brazil, Peru and Costa Rica. At the moment I have 26 albums of birdsong/nature, most of which can be found here for free download in high quality F.L.A.C. format.
  
Birdsong is Spiritual Medicine,
a Natural Treasure 
and a Companion to Silence.
