Lydbrook Birdsong Boxing Day 26/12/2024 11:29

On Boxing Day, I set out to capture the serene atmosphere of Lydbrook in the Forest of Dean. The morning was cold and misty, and I placed my Sony PCM-M10 recorder on a fence in the backyard to make an unattended, long-form field recording. The soundscape was soothing: various birdsong filled the air, their melodies sharp against the stillness, occasionally interrupted by the hum of a passing car. Six and a half minutes in, church bells chimed, marking the peaceful passage of time. It was a balm to experience such tranquillity in the countryside, a stone's throw from the River Wye. Recordings made using Sony PCM-M10 build-in mics. https://www.binauraldiaries.co.uk/blog/lydbrook-birdsong-boxing-day-26122024-1129
