This stereo recording was made with my new Samsung phone which I bought last week. I really like the microphones. They captured the soundscape well.

There were a lot of vocal birds in my garden on Saturday afternoon. With headphones or good speakers, you'll hear the movement as they fly around.

Here's a link to the podcast I was playing on headphones. https://www.davideagle.co.uk/what-do-you-get-when-you-cross-frank-spencer-with-a-labrador-retriever/

I often listen to audio content with earphones. This is me laughing in the garden. The neighbours must think I'm mad! You can find the podcast causing the hilarity at https://www.davideagle.co.uk/the-david-eagle-podcast-featuring-a-surprise-appearance-from-boycie/

I'm not sure if the thunder freaked the birds out or if they were enjoying it but, for whatever reason, they were very vocal during this storm. Listen with good speakers or headphones to fully immerse yourself in this sounscape.

I started recording because of the thunder but decided to include these extremely vocal parakeets, since they were joining in with the general soundscape. It was a very short thunderstorm.

My first live singing in Church since March 2020 of a favourite hymn with a wonderful accompaniment.

Highlights from a thunderstorm, lasting over an hour in real time, on the afternoon of Monday 12 July 2021, including a barking dog, a siren and, towards the end, someone whistling.

No need for an alarm clock when you're woken up by this sort of racket around 5 in the morning!
