Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland – Pterodaktyl
http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/2013/04/01/wai-o-tapu
April 1, 2013. Hot pool at Wai-O-Tapu. We only had a few days in North Island, so after visiting the fantastic Zealandia wildlife sanctuary in Wellington and the predator-free reserve on Kapiti Island, we had a long drive north to Rotorua. We spent a night in a campsite beside the worryingly-high waters of Lake Rerewhakaaitu (so high, in fact, that we couldn’t pay for the campsite because the booth was under water!

The Somerset Levels – Pterodaktyl
http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/2010/07/12/the-somerset-levels
July 12, 2010. Shapwick Heath ( Li-Li Williams 2010). The first track is from Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve (NNR) and was recorded at 9:30pm. Shapwick Heath and the adjoining Ham Wall NNR support a large population of introduced Marsh Frogs (. We never did hear a Bittern that day, but we certainly saw one – what both Lil and myself had taken to be a large tuft of grass about 10m in front of us on a grassy track suddenly spread its wings and flew away across the marshes. Shows just how ...I could...

Night at Fraser’s Hill – Pterodaktyl
http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/2015/01/02/night-at-frasers-hill
Night at Fraser’s Hill. January 2, 2015. On our first night there I headed out into the gardens to see what night sounds I could capture. In the UK night recording generally requires low-noise microphones and pre-amps due to the almost complete lack of ambient noise. I soon realised that this wasn’t going to be the case in Malaysia – if anything the nocturnal soundscape was louder than the daytime one. Did you like this article? Share it with your friends!

In the bleak midwinter – Pterodaktyl
http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/2010/12/21/in-the-bleak-midwinter
In the bleak midwinter. December 21, 2010. A rather larger group of Meadow Pipits is the subject of this recording, made on the morning of the winter solstice in a field just outside Dawlish. You can also hear the flight calls or Redwing and Fieldfare, the distant drumming of a Great-spotted Woodpecker, and the croak of a Raven. Recorded with 2 x AT4022 microphones in a partially baffled boundary array and a Tascam HD-P2 recorder. Did you like this article? Share it with your friends!

The Cuckoo and the Deer – Pterodaktyl
http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/2014/04/29/the-cuckoo-and-the-deer
The Cuckoo and the Deer. April 29, 2014. Today was the first time this spring when I’ve been free for a morning recording session on a day when the weather forecast looked promising. After waking up at 03:30 I headed for Dartmoor National Park with two bird species in mind – the Cuckoo, newly returned from overwintering in Africa, and Snipe, which in springtime can be heard drumming over the moor. As the daylight increased, so did the frequency of jet airliners passing overhead. With several major ai...
