After a long winter, my local patch is slowly filling up with birds returning from wintering grounds.
With their return, the place also fills with sound. One species that stands out visually and acoustically
is the Bluethroat Luscinia svecica.
While wildlife photographers bother the males for their striking appearance, the wildife sound
recordist can listen and record the countless imitations and electronic-sounding sounds being
blasted out at breakneck speed, from a respectful distance.
