A beautiful winter’s morning in Great Yarmouth. Join me on a walk down to the water’s edge.
Please ignore my sniffing and heavy breathing – it was cold! The sound of the calm sea, and the inevitable dog, made the journey all worth while.
This is a binaural recording, best head on headphones.

The boom you hear isn’t a cannon but the collective sound of hundreds of birds all lifting off!
Recored March 2014
All you can hear are the sounds made by the sea on the rocks as the tide ebbs at Sheringham. The splaying and gurgling sounds is the sea filling rock pools and rushing between the heavy rocks.

In April 2018 the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), managed by the Norfolk Coast Partnership, celebrated its 50th anniversary.
This sonic snapshot produced by me captures some of the anniversary celebrations.
It was first broadcast as part of the Sounding Coastal Change project in July 2018.
For part of the Sounding Coastal Change Project in 2017, Year 6 pupils from the Pilgrim Federation of Church of England Primary Schools in Norfolk learned about sound recording.
During a couple of field trips they captured the sounds of birds and insects (and a lot of wind!) along the North Norfolk coastline. They also interviewed residents of Blakeney to capture their thoughts about living in the area.
This sonic snapshot was produced by me and first aired in July 2018 during the Sounding Coastal Change 24 hour broadcast.
