Geoff, this is really fascinating. Having experienced hundreds (maybe
thousands ?) of dawn choruses in both tropical and temperate regions I
know exactly what you mean. I did not get stressed, but your sounds
were so "crowded", now I see why. Great stuff ! I would love to hear
your radio discussion: any chance you can eventually make available to
the group for those of us not in UK ?
Thanks
