May Dawn Chorus

I got down to the Wetlands soon after 5 am the other day to record the dawn chorus.

I then ran this audio through the excellent Merlin free Android app that identifies bird from their songs.

I haven’t got a clean audio recording of the above video but I did take a recording on my phone as I walked around. Here’s the analysis from the Merlin app.

You can try this for yourself by downloading the Merlin app and the importing the following audio file in the My Recordings section of the app

The cool thing about the app is you can click on the bird it has identified and it will take you to the time in the audio file it heard it! 🙂

The dry spell has really emptied the two ponds as you can see from these photographs though the yellow flag irises look lovely 🙂

Monthly walk through the Wetlands

Summer is underway but the days are pretty cool still. The buttercups are beautiful in the meadow areas and the trees are fully leaved. The large pond is overrun with bull rushes and the smaller one is pretty churned up. Lots of dog prints.
