The boom you hear isn’t a cannon but the collective sound of hundreds of birds all lifting off!

Norfolk Coast BioBlitz – July 2017
In July 2017 the Norfolk Coast Partnership, the National Trust, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Holkham National Nature Reserve, RSPB Titchwell Marsh and the Norfolk Biodiversity Information Service came together for the first time to undertake the Norfolk Coast Bioblitz. Forty-eight hours of biodiversity, surveying, citizen science and public engagement activities.
A sonic snapshot that captures the atmosphere of the weekend, with serious science and a lot of fun.
It was produced by me for the Sounding Coast Change project.
Foxley Wood rain – April 2018
The bane of every sound recordist, rain. All the clicks and thumps you can hear is the rain dripping onto the microphone.

Foxley Wood – March 2018
The first morning of British Summer Time and a walk through the Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s Foxley Wood.
See if you can hear the woodpecker.
Despite relatively dry weather, some of the paths are very wet and muddy in places.
The ancient woodland floor is covered in the green foliage of what promises to be a spectacular display of Bluebells in the next six weeks or so.
Discovered a tuneful little stream and a long forgotten cart.
Bacton Woods – July 2017
Lots of wind through the trees at Bacton Woods in North Norfolk.

Sea At Holme Dunes – July 2017
Hydrophone placed about 6 inches below the sand at the shore line. The rustling is the sand moving across the microphone and you can also hear the rumble of the wind above ground.

Holme Dunes – July 2017
I buried a hydrophone about 6 inches into a sand dune below some of the grass. The result, on a very windy day in North Norfolk, was this amazing sound. It sounds more like bamboo rattling together with the occasional whoosh of wind as it raced across the sand above.

Dawn Chorus – Cley Marshes
For International Dawn Chorus Day 2017 I headed to Cley Marshes in North Norfolk as part of the Sounding Coastal Change project.
Details of the morning can be found on my website.
