I'm excited about this recording because I can find very little info about Palmate Newts making sound. But, in this recording, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what we're hearing 🎧🧐

An iconic sound that's dissapearing from the British countryside. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Chinese bush warbler recorded 18th June whilst on a trip to Mongolia with members of ⁦Wildlife Sound⁩; 85 main pulses per second with three or four minor for each main pulse, makes a grasshopper warbler sound slow, woodcock, Japanese quail and common cuckoo in background

I love the resonance of the bill clattering and the intertwining sweet song of the lesser whitethroat. This sound combo hadn’t been heard for 600 years until the #whitestorkproject at @kneppwilding. This is truly a #SoundscapeOfHope - supported by Arts Council England #Rewilding

Just a few weeks left to send in your recordings of skylarks for this wonderful project!

In 1650 Athanasius Kircher tried his hand at transcribing the songs and calls of birds. Top marks for his take on the Common Quail. Bikebik, bikebik, bikebik BL Visual Arts 🦇 🎼British Library Music Collections 🎵
