No, PARWICH.ORG hasn’t signed up to Twitter! This “tweeting” is of an altogether more traditional kind. Kevin S. explains further:
We have been very lucky on this blog to have some excellent bird photography, supplied by John F-S and several other local snappers. Having recently met Alan Burbidge, Vice Chairman of the Wildlife Sound Recording Society (WSRS), I realised there could be a great opportunity to attach recordings of bird song to relevant photos on the blog.
The WSRS is a group of about 300 members who are interested in recording sounds from nature, thus helping to further the appreciation and understanding of animal language.
Their website has a lot of information about how the recordings are made, numerous articles about bird song and a section where recordings can be heard. The quality of these recordings are amazing. I particularly liked the European Tree Frogs and Eider Ducks.
Alan has kindly supplied us with a couple of recordings, which we have linked to a couple of John’s photos. To listen to them, please click on each picture.
In the future, we will try to link relevant recordings to other photographs as they appear on the blog.
