Birch Meadow Voices; The Sandemar Files #3

from Wild Bird Acoustics · host Alan Dalton

In this episode we return to Sandemar Reserve to listen to the wonderful sounds of the site in late spring, a time when this reserve is bursting with life. In this episode we explore the sounds of the flooded coastal meadow at this incredible location and listen to some remarkable recordings of various bird species. Here on these wet grasslands, several species of wader return to breed each year and in 2025 I recorded some incredible audio by means of passive recording. Join me as I share this intimate audio, often at incredible close quarters, in order to gain a glimpse into the secret world of breeding wader species. During the course of the month, some remarkable sequences of audio were recorded, offering a window into the incredible scenes that take place in this habitat under cover of darkness, as well as revealing remarkable early morning drama due to the presence of predatory bird species at the reserve.Leave a comment here....Support the showSubscibe to Wild Bird Acoustics here;https://wildbirdacoustics.buzzsprout.comLots more audio related material here at my long running website;https://blogbirder.blogspot.com/
