East Norfolk Coast - LIttle Terns

The HomeSounds Show ·

2025/09/08

Welcome Home Everybody!In this episode, Rob, myself and our Sidestrand School group head to the East Norfolk Coast. Keeping the exact location secret for conservation reasons, and in spite of the car park pay machine doing its level best to prevent anyone from spending anytime there, we gathered and laid out our plans. A beach and sea wall walk of about 45 minutes will lead us to a colony of beach nesting little terns. A team of RSPB wardens, permanently sited next to the colony for its protection,

2025/05/13

Welcome Home Everybody!In this episode, Rob leads us on a hunt for Frogs and their copper-eyed cousins Toads. We started with a careful walk through the woods at Sheringham Park, dodging the toads crossing our path that were making safe passage to the ponds where they lay their spawn. Rob tells us that toads squeak, so we stopped to investigate. From Sheringham we jump back into the bus and make our way to another pond at nearby Beeston Common. An army of frogs await us, their soft croaking alerting

Sheringham and Felbrigg - Soils and Plants

The HomeSounds Show ·

2025/02/27

Welcome Home Everybody!A few weeks ago I managed to get my hands on a new microphone developed by the field recordist and sound artist Jez Riley French. The ecoutic is an adapted version of Jez’s popular c-series contact microphone. Short or long metal probes attach to the original c-series microphone body. These probes allow the microphone to penetrate soils, substrates, plant stems and many other materials, enabling very fine sound within these materials to be detected without the low rumble often

Fields of North Norfolk - March Hares

The HomeSounds Show ·

2024/11/12

Welcome home everybody!In this episode, Rob led our Sidestrand school group on a hunt for Hares across the North Norfolk Countryside. Using the school minibus as a mobile hide, we scampered down country lanes, and pitched in opportune parking spots when we either came across suitable hare habitats, or spotted one sitting on, or sprinting across, a farmers field. To aid our hunt, we made use of a Hare Call to try to draw them closer, or peak their interest. A classic anthropogenic sound of the
