Pterodaktyl

Whitethroat

Posted on May 20, 2009

Recorded on a breezy day at Warren Point in Dawlish Warren NNR. For the first few minutes of the recording the bird is singing in the distance. It then makes a short song flight near the microphone, falls silent for a minute and then sings close by.
