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.

Recorded just below the tree-line in Langtang National Park, this album captures the sounds of a alpine stream in spring, with birdsong from the surrounding rhododendron & oak forests. 

With the natural 'white-noise' from the rushing stream, this album is ideal for noise-masking, as a sleeping aid, and for sufferers of tinnitus.

Forests Of The World: Holger Kiess - The Coppice Woods On The Moselle - Germany

Recorded just outside of a Village in Southern Poland, a variety of birds singing and chirruping, with the distant sound of aircraft in the background. 
The occasional sound of a woodpecker can be heard, as well as the occasional insect. In the forest there was a space for people to pray, - a small church and a man-made waterfall, and also I was told that there was once a battle close-by. 
This was recorded in April 2016 and one particular memory of this time of spring was watching the caddisfly larvae navigating their way around a small stream.

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

This is a sample containing excerpts from the one hour album "New Guinea: Lowland Rainforest Dawn" available at www.wildambience.com/albums/new-guinea-lowland-dawn-chorus

New Guinea is home to the largest expanse of rainforest in the Asia-Pacific region (and the third largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon and Congo). Vast areas of undisturbed forest can be found throughout the island and its biodiversity is simply amazing.

In 2019, I spent five days in an area of pristine lowland rainforest on the Birds Head Peninsula in West Papua. This album, ‘New Guinea: Dawn in Lowland Rainforest’, was recorded on my final morning at this location. Rising early, well before dawn, I placed the recording gear in a stunning area of forest I had scouted the previous day. The album covers a period of one hour from predawn darkness, through the rich dawn chorus and ends as the soundscape settles and the diurnal insect activity increases.
