About Cuckoo & Nightjar Spectacular - Dartmoor Dawn Chorus
This 148-minute 2-CD album presents a breathtakingly 'different' and atmospheric dawn chorus soundscape on the west flank of Bellever Tor, on high Dartmoor (Devon, UK). Starting in the dark with a melancholy-sounding distant solitary cuckoo that had been cuckooing through most of the small hours, we hear a full nightjar chorus gradually build up, with further cuckoos joining in and giving a sense of a symphonic music work progressively building up in depth and complexity - some of the cuckoos echoing or/and reverberating in the nearby forestry. Skylarks and soon other birds join in for their celebration of the new day.This recording was made concurrently with that presented on PGC-272, but has some nice differences. Here we have some rather dramatic-sounding closer encounters with particular nightjars and cuckoos. Also, blackbird, song thrush and robin are more prominent (at times), and we hear willow warbler rather than the tree pipit, which latter was very prominent in that recording.However, whatever the differences this time, you'll still hear cuckoos as you've probably never heard them before!The contents of each disc are split into four tracks, which play without a break, just to assist navigation.
