High Tide Dawn Chorus

On Monday 30th March, at high tide, I joined Ellie Williams to record the dawn chorus along the banks of the Avon at 40-46 Albert Rd.

As the city woke up we captured the sounds of Wrens, Magpies, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Moorhens, Gulls and Willow Warblers. We also heard runners, cyclists, traffic and trains. This combined chorus revealed the reverbs, reflections and echoes of the tidal river valley. Acoustic spaces that have been formed by the flow of the river as well as the urban development and industrial history of the site.
