Finalising a blog post this morning, I listened to this CD which I recently bought from the RSPB:
The CD is a 73 minute 4 track recording that captures the magical awakening of bird life at daybreak in the British countryside. It offers a selection of British woodland recordings taken from the collection of the wildlife section of the British Library sound archive.
There is no commentary but the CD inlay sheet does detail the bird species (plus sheep, dog, Peacock and bees!) for those that are challenged by who is singing 😀.
On a grey and rainy October morning, it provides a beautiful reminder of the diversity and volume of bird song at my 2 local patch sites in late April and early May and especially the amazing experience of International Dawn Chorus Day on 3rd May 2020 .... see here.
Whilst Robins and the occasional Wren have resumed singing following their breeding season and their summer moult, it will be some time yet before we are able to hear widespread bird song again.
Let's hope that the weather and nature in spring 2021 will be as lovely as this year but that by spring 2021 we have made significant progress in tackling the huge tragedy of Covid-19 which was also a feature of spring during the current year.

Stay safe, stay well, stay strong, stay connected with nature
