This is about 3.30am in April. There is a Reed Bunting with some Greylag Geese. Fluctuating in volume is a Grasshopper Warbler. The high yapping noise is a Coot. This call echoes beautifully around the marsh.

This uncommon warbler, heard churring in the background, was at Westwood Marshes on 3rd May 2010. Not a brilliant recording of it, but a nice soundscape of the reedbeds in spring.

These were at Westwood Marshes at half past six in the morning, April. They often call at the same time as Cetti’s warblers. Perhaps one inspires the other to sing.

Recorded at Westwood Marshes, Suffolk, in April 2009. The « whit, whit, whit » of the crake is somewhat hidden by a very loud Wren. This is one of the birdsongs that inspired me to buy my recording equipment, after hearing it on a cd of Polish birds. The sound could be heard about half a mile away.
