Episode 17 of Wild Bird Acoustics see's me take listeners deep into the world of early Summer soundscapes of Sweden, comprising audio recorded in June 2022. The episode delves into carefully selected audio recorded at various locations, including Stockholm City, Snosätra, Angarn Reserve, Vallentuna, Sandemar Reserve, Landsort, Nacka Reserve, and Hällögern in Northern Sweden. I discuss bird species such as Blyth's Reed Warbler, Collared Flycatcher, Corn Crake, Great Reed Warbler, Icterine Warbler, European Nightjar, and Marsh Warbler. I also share thoughts about the equipment used for field recording, and encourage listeners to venture out at night, in order to field record night singing species. Toward the end, I introduce some fantastic binaural recordings from Halligan in Västerbotten, which I hope will be a fully immersive audio experience for listeners, with some wonderful surround sound recordings shared in the second sound magazine of the episode.
