Birdsong Ambiences

These recordings feature spacious birdsong ambiences from woodland and forest habitats.

Birdsong often settles down after dawn, and becomes more occasional. These quieter times of day - late morning or afternoon - have a unique acoustic character. They are more relaxed and open. Time passes at a natural pace, and birds call intermittently as they move around the landscape.

These more open recordings are ideal for encouraging stillness and concentration of mind, and make an excellent space for creative work.
