Dawn Chorus

Roger Boughton has been up with the lark for thirty or so years now, recording the West Cumbrian dawn chorus.

Roger has a good excuse for all that early rising as he's Vice-Chairman of the Wildlife Sound Recording Society.

The Society has members all round the country and they take the dawn chorus very seriously, using specialist equipment to get the very best recordings.

You can listen to an example of a West Cumbrian dawn chorus by clicking on the audio links on this page.

If you want to record the dawn chorus yourself, his advice would be to look at the website below and make sure you have the right sort of kit. 

Also, listen to Roger's interview with Gordon Swindlehurst, who was after some tips on recording a Cumbrian dawn chorus of his own.

As you'll find out from Roger, you don't have to use expensive equipment to create a recording that you can enjoy time and time again.
