The Night Singers

from Wild Bird Acoustics · host Alan Dalton

An episode devoted entirely to the wonderful nocturnal world of bird vocalization. In the feature sound magazine, I start with an unforgettable night spent at Angarn Reserve, a recording session that was carried out completely under the cover of darkness. I visited the area in the hope of recording Spotted Crake, a well known nocturnally displaying species. This was a night that will live long in my memory as everything went according to plan. Spotted Crake were present in breathtaking numbers and their song strophes were ringing out all over the wetland. The darkness further revealed many other night singers. Join me as I talk you through an incredible night out in the field and share some quite incredible audio with you as I do so... Staying on the nocturnal theme, late summer and early autumn will soom be upon us and this is when my mind turns towards recording migration, once again. My second segment of the episode will detail some rather nice nocturnal audio from a host of nocturnally migrating species. All of the audio here has come from my Landsort listening station, a wonderful venue to record nocturnal migrants.Join me for this carefully edited soundbite, a wonderful introduction into the world of the night singers...00:01 Introduction to Wild Bird Acoustics00:44 Exploring the Magic of Night Singing Birds02:24 The advantages of Field Recording at Night05:10 An unforgetable night at Angarn Reserve06:07 Various recordings from the Reserve07:22 A Nocturnal tour of Angarn Reserve26:44  Nocmig Corner: Nocturnal Migration28:00 Exploring the Sounds of Nocturnal Migration at Landsort50:32 General discussion about Night Recording52:57 Conclusion and FarewellLeave 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/
