Wild Bird Acoustics

By: Alan Dalton
  • Summary

  • A journey into the wonderful world of field recording birds in their natural environment. Join me at Wild bird Acoustic's to experience incredible soundscapes of wild birds, here in Sweden and further abroad. The podcast will feature sound magazines, trips to wild places and interviews with sound recorders from all around Europe and beyond. I hope it will appeal to those who seek a relaxing audio experience, which can help contribute to mental well being and provide an outlet for those who might wish to escape the stress that modern life can generate. I further hope to draw together a community of field recorders, birders and outdoor enthusiasts, in order to share the sounds of wild birds and places from all over the world....

    In the final episode of the opening season I begin with a lovely sound magazine of random recordings made here in Sweden, with some wonderful recordings of a wide range of species for the listener's to enjoy...
    I talk a little about my thoughts for the upcoming second season, with a few thoughts on the direction of the podcast in the future as well as discussing the journey of the podcast to date.
    A second sound magazine deals with nocturnal migration, before a third concrening diurnal migration is presented. Both of these detail vocalizations of migrating birds in the skies over Sweden, a subject that I am deeply interested in. I hope these will be informative and of practical use for enthusiasts of birders with an interest in this area.
    Finally, I finish with a wonderful, long recording of a special species, a wonderfully atmospheric recording of very high quality, which I hope listeners will enjoy.

    In this episode of Wild Bird Acoustics, I focus on the sounds on Autumn. In the initial sound magazine, I will take listener's to the coast of Västerbotten in Northern Sweden. I will share a collection of field recordings of local species, as well as passage migrants, revealing a cross section of the incredible sounds to be expected in this incredible part of the world, during the busiest period for migration of many species of bird.
    The second sound magaizine will feature visible migration and the calls of migrant species as they move southwards along the coastline at Landsort, Sweden. This premier site for active migration has provided me with some wonderful audio of migrant species over the past few years and here, in the penultimate episode of my first podcast season, I take a deep dive into the sounds of those species. This is a celebration of the autumn period and I hope it will whet listeners appetite for the coming autumn, wherever your location...
