A Fenland Chorus

A Fenland Chorus was recorded in Suffolk during Spring and begins in the late evening with the songs of sedge warblers, the ‘boom’ of a bittern and the calls of gadwall ducks, little grebes and moorhen out on the water. As night falls there is the single song bursts of a Cetti’s warbler in the reeds. At 3am a nightingale sings and its voice is then gradually subsumed into the gathering dawn chorus from the surrounding birch and alders.
