The Sounds of Summer; July in the Far North

Send us a text

In this episode, I take listeners on an auditory journey through the sounds of the bird world in midsummer Sweden. The podcast depicts the vivid acoustics of several bird species in their respective habitats, specifically during the month of June when many scarce species can be unearthed on breeding territory. Summer birding emphasizes the importance of recognizing bird sounds over visibility due to lush vegetation. Here, I explore habitats like wetlands, woodlands, and even urban spaces. Bird species featuring here include Collared Flycatcher, Great Reed Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Blyth's Reed Warbler, Red-breasted Flycatcher, European Nightjar, Spotted Redshank, and Little Gull, among others. I hope the podcast successfully immerses the audience into the tranquil wilderness of Sweden through the audio presented...
Following a whistle stop tour of the areas around Stockholm, I will bring you north, to the peaceful island of Hällögern. Here, in July, I have spent hundreds of happy hours recording the soundscape in this remote and pristine landscape. It is a pleasure to record here and be able to share the sounds of Northern Sweden with you all here on Wild Bird Acoustics.
