Recording the dawn chorus at Boiling Wells, Bristol

We were up before dawn on the 28th of May, to get to Boiling Wells in St Werburghs in time to record the dawn chorus. I've attached some of the recording at the bottom of this post, taken at 5.15am.

I'm not a professional sound recorder and you can hear a bit of microphone movement, especially towards the beginning of the clip. Hopefully. though, you'll enjoy hearing what the nature reserve sounds like at that peaceful time of the morning.

The images that go with it were taken the day before at the same place.

Also listen out for the cross-sounding geese on a smallholding nearby as well as the very distant noise of the M32 motorway rumbling in the background.
