Calling the curlew podcast: exploring the dawn chorus

This sound recording of the dawn chorus in early May features the unique bird species that you hear in Upper Teesdale. Adam Millington, Biodiversity Officer with the North Pennines National Landscape, explores this uplifting and intriguing natural phenomena, introducing us to the individual bird species that appear in this intense soundscape of birds. He explores how they use their song and calls to defend their territory and find their mates, and how he honed this impressive skill of deciphering the symphony of sounds.
