A perfect dawn chorus
Awildlifeenthusiastfrom Norfolk, whomadea name forhimselfwithhisperfect 70-minuterecordingofan entiredawnchorus,has released adigital versiontoappeal to modern-daylisteners. Andrew Flintham, amusician, musicproducer, voice-over artistandactor from Newton Flotman, hopesthenew release will encouragelistenersto appreciateand protecttheir naturalsurroundings,and saysthebirdsong recording, whichiscompletelyunsullied by noisepollution,offers arare opportunityto feel completely immersedinnature. “BrecklandsDawnChorusisa uniquerecordingthat wasmade injust onetake, veryearly one morninginbeautiful woodland in Norfolk,”heexplains.“You can hearanarray of birds,withinan uninterrupted wholechorus,and formanyofuswho spend much of ourtimeinfront of computers, itoffers auniqueescapefrom our busyandstressfullives. “Now thetrack hasbeen digitalised, everymomentof birdsong,from theblackbirdsto therobins,is even sharperand clearer thanit wasbefore. Youcan even hearthesound ofa muntjacdeerinthe vicinityand a bumble beeflittingpast.” Thetrack,which is available todownload,willappeal to those whohavefeltdrawn to natureduringthepandemic,as wellasothersseekingstillness andcalmduringthesestressful times. Even back in1993, when therecording wasfirstmade by Andrew,capturingthepure soundofthe dawn chorus withoutinadvertentlypicking up extraneoussoundwas challenging. "It took aboutninetakes beforewefinallyachievedit.But it wouldbecompletelyimpossible to makearecordinglikethis todaybecause thereisjust too much noisepollution.Ihaveeven spenttimerecordingupinthe ScottishHighlands, butonevery occasion,whenIlistenedback afterwards, Icould hear aroad or anairplanefar away inthe distance.”
