Churchyard recordings
From February 2015 to January 2016 we made one minute monthly recordings of birdsong in the churchyard within an hour of sunrise. Alongside birdsong, you will hear a variety of extraneous sounds, including lambs and sheep, a cockerel, rain and wind.
We are grateful to Herefordshire Ornithological Club for identifying the birds below. If you hear others, we'd be grateful if you'd email us.
