We spend the Christmas period at a dog shelter in Southern Spain. I put the H2n microphone up over night on Christmas evening from around 21:00 through to nearly 9:00 in the morning on Christmas day. There's…

Waves hitting the sore and blowing trough a blowhole. Yesterday they were much louder, but my "deadcat" can't keep the strong wind at bay, heck the Zoom H2n would have been blown into the sea. I removed…

The creatures had a good natter at sunset near Algimia de Almonacid. You can hear the cars driving by in the valley below too. Along with the farmers dogs barking away in the distance. Your browser does…

Spend a wonderful afternoon at Harwes Farm and I got to have a look inside their windmills from Earthmill First bit is from inside, you can hear the Lapwing that wasn't happy that I was there. The second…

I love that a flock of ravens, jackdaws, crows etc is also defined as "a murder" in the English language. Your browser does not support the audio tag. When I grew up we had a murder flying over our house…

It isn't that windy today here, but it is coming in a direction that makes our chimney sing. Though that said you still need to hold onto your hat if you venture out. First recording is the microphone…

Evening walk from Garrigill to Loaning Head in Cumbria. With the farmer driving over the bridge over River South Tyne down in Garrigill.

We had the joy of fresh eggs from these talkative ladies, while we stayed at the wonderful Isaac's Byre Holiday Cottage - https://www.isaacsbyre.com/ The loud metal clang, is from the hens kicking their…

In Garrigill there is a bridge over the River South Tyne and down below there is a wee sitting area. Which were designed by Peter Lexie Elliott circa 2000. Your browser does not support the audio tag. Bit…

Nice little walk around and below Ashgill Force. I wonder how noisy it would be down in this gorge when the water is really roaring. Your browser does not support the audio tag. Bonus: I have been playing…

Typical when you have the perfect weather for it and a stunning soundscape to boot. What do you do, use the wrong settings on the microphone, doh! I had to cut this wonderful 10min breakfast recording…

Grand day out in the Lake District walking up Harter Fell. The day started out with walking up through the fog, which well and truly hid what we were about to see. As we were slogging up the hill, we were…

Was out for a walk and a quick hail storm hit, where the hails were jumping around on the grass. You can hear the hail hitting my hat, rain jacket and the goal post in the sport ground. Along with people…

Out walkies and taking a shortcut through the local allotment. Plenty of Blackbirds and Robins and gardeners out and about, and you can hear my dog running around too. Trying out my new Roland CS-10Em…

This is the sound of the wind hitting the fence at Bowland Knotts. I was all alone and standing there enjoying the stunning view and sunset. Just as I started to record, one car - the only one for hours…

The Atom Trail is a short circular walking trail around one of East Lancashire’s intriguing “Panopticans” or artistic “sculptures” offering stunning viewpoints. The Atom looks down on the village of Wycoller…

My first attempt to partake in the World Listenig Day – The Collective Field 2020. I often go down into a little woodland/park in town to sit and think about about the world while my dog gets to have a…

Well that hit me harder than I was expecting. These brave people gave it all for us. Because today we are seeing nutters – whom they fought and laid their life to protect us from – talking utter nonsense…

Just a cheap and quick test. Got a cheap lavalier mic, put some cling film on it and attached it to a mono pod. Then put it all into the canal while one of the tour boats passed. Your browser does not…

Doing chores around the house. Am I the only one that can’t stop making extra bubbles when washing up? Your browser does not support the audio tag. This post is HEAVLY inspired by Bill Baily's Part Troll…
