Podcasts about bittern

The Bittern is part of a series commissioned by Future Places Centre at Lancaster University in collaboration with Leighton Moss RSPB. With many thanks to Jarrod Sneyd, RSPB Leighton Moss, for embodying this Bittern. "For me, they just bring joy, particularly when the atmospherics are right. You can be in Leighton Moss, or nearby in Silverdale, for example, where there's been five or six booming male Bitterns, and the sound echoes and reverberates. If you were to try and write it down and capture it, it's constant, it's impossible to do. And so you've got this cacophony of Bitterns booming all around you and echoing and bouncing. And it's actually just incredible when you get that. It's not like that every morning or every evening." Jarrod Sneyd, RSPB Leighton Moss   Producer, Presenter: annabel@annabelross.com  Thank you to Jarrod for his superb sound recordings. Thank you to Noemie Lina for the illustrations. 

Die 8-Bit-Computer der Atari 400- und 800-Serien, die 1979 eingeführt wurden, markieren einen wichtigen Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Heimcomputer. Sie waren ihrer Zeit technisch voraus und boten Funktionen wie Hardware-Sprites, Antialiasing und eine fortschrittliche Farbpalette, die sie besonders für Spiele prädestinierten. Entwickelt unter der Leitung von Jay Miner, dem „Vater des Amiga“, nutzten sie den MOS 6502-Prozessor und setzten neue Standards in Sachen Grafik und Sound, die selbst weit in die 1980er-Jahre hinein beeindruckten. Henner und Gunnar sprechen ausführlich über die Technologie, die Geschichte und die historische Bedeutung von Ataris 8-Bittern. Hinweis: Für Unterstützer von Stay Forever erscheint demnächst auch noch eine SFT-Bonus-Folge mit weiteren Geschichten rund um die Atari-8-Bitter!

Terror abounds on this episode of Sherlock Says as your hosts Ansel and Rachael continue to read The Hound of the Baskervilles and remember that Doyle wrote pretty well when he could be bothered to! From his eerie narration about late-night stakeouts to his overly-complementarily spooky description of the weirdest bird you've ever heard, these five chapters do a lot of the heavy lifting for the vibe of the novel. But don't just take my word for it, press play! Why are you still reading this anyway? This is a podcast! Go listen!Content Warning: domestic abuseContact the pod!

River Restoration - why the Church in Wales is involving itself in tackling the crisis facing Wales' rivers and waterwaysTo celebrate World Curlew Day (21st April) we meet a visual artist in Montgomeryshire who compares the plight of the Curlew to that of the now extinct Great Auk and fears for the eventual extinction of both the curlew and the village hall! Birds of Conservation Concern in Wales - the Curlew is on the Red List of Species as is our bird of the month this April - the Bittern. We hear how the reed beds at Newport Wetlands are contributing to something of a success story as their fortunes are slowly, but surely, being turned around.Cockles - how two boys are getting out in nature and keeping the tradition of cockle picking alive on the Burry inletand the Great Glamorgan Sock Project showcasing the different sheep breeds with woolly socks!

A distinctive booming sound is returning to the Wairarapa Moana. Most of the surrounding wetlands have been lost after land was drained for farming. Now, after years of rehabilitation work, more of the Australasian Bittern have been heard lately. Country Life heads out at dusk to listen for the matuku-hurepō.

In the southern corner of New Zealand, a team is working to detect secretive, cryptic wetland birds… using sound.  Matuku Hūrepo Australasian Bitterns are so shy and cryptic, that they are rarely seen. They are wetland birds and with a 90% loss of wetland area in New Zealand, their populations are in steady decline. A collaborative project is underway in the Otago region to understand more about these birds by detecting them using acoustic recorders.  Featuring - Dr. Scott Jarvie - Terrestrial Ecologist, ORC, Otago Regional Council  Mary Thompson - Ornithologist, Birds New Zealand Francesca Cunninghame - Project Manager, Forest and Bird Petra Simpson - Forest and Bird  If you've spotted an Australasian Bittern please contact  -Birds New Zealand at bitterns.otago@gmail.com You can also log your Bittern & Crake observations on citizen science platforms like eBird or iNaturalist  Learn about Australasian Bitterns Producer, Sound Recordist, Sound Editor & Presenter - Karthic SS Additional Sounds from  Department of Conservation  (CC BY 4.0) & Birds New Zealand Kindly supported by the NZ Lottery Grants Environment and Heritage fund, administered by Te Tari Taiwhenua, the Department of Internal Affairs Supported by OAR FM Dunedin & Science Communication, University of Otago.   Follow the Show  Facebook : ⁠https://www.facebook.com/tuneintonature⁠  Instagram : ⁠https://www.instagram.com/tuneintonatureshow/⁠  Twitter : ⁠https://twitter.com/tunenatureshow⁠  Producer & Presenter:  ⁠http://instagram.com/karthiscool⁠  This show was broadcast on community radio⁠ OAR 105.4FM⁠ Dunedin and available at ⁠http://accessmedia.nz/⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tuneintonature/message

The announcement of Bird of the Century has been delayed to Wednesday, following a massive influx of votes, thanks in large part to British-American talk show host John Oliver. Over 300,000 votes have been cast so far, crashing Forest and Bird's voting system at one point. Voting closes tomorrow at 5pm. Helen Jamieson is from conservation group Forest Bridge Trust, backing an under-bird, the Australasian bittern Matuku-hurepo

My guest is Arjan Dwarshuis, an avid birder, professional guide, writer and conservationist. A name you are probably most familiar with for the Guinness World Record he set in 2016, by observing 6852 bird species across 41 countries in a single year. Not too long ago, his book about this big year, The (Big) Year That Flew By, was translated from Dutch into English, and made available to a broader audience. He also hosts his own podcast focused on birdwatching – De Vogelspotcast. Today he's here all the way from the Netherlands, for the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival.

Since humans occupied and began to alter our landscape there have been winners and loosers amongst our bird species. Humans impact on the avifauna of Ireland has been mostly negative with persecution, over hunting and habitat destruction/loss being big drivers in the extinction process. Ricky and Niall look at some species that are long extinct, some that have slipped away in the recent past and others that have returned. Some fabulous species feature in this episode including, the bittern, the common crane, the marsh harrier and corn bunting among them. The chat ends on a positive note as it turns to the potential of the midlands bogs to host thriving populations of cranes, bittern, marsh harrier and other wetland specialists. In Your Nature is produced in partnership with the Heritage Offices of Laois and Offaly County Councils, supported by the Heritage Council and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly

It's been ages since we last spoke with Pam Novak at the Atlantic Wildlife Institute. That changes today. She released an American Bittern over the last couple of days, and she'll explain why it's not easy to say goodbye to these fluffy-headed herons.

Everyone has heard of herons and egrets, but bitterns get no love. That is, until listener Kayla suggested this episode on the American and Least Bittern!  These shy wetland birds are easy to overlook but hold some amazing secrets. The American Bittern's booming call and snow white breeding plumage patches make any day on the marsh magical while the Least Bittern's feisty crest feathers and acrobatic antics give it a lot of personality. Learn how to identify the various calls of these two amazing birds. Using scientific articles, historical anecdotes, and the writings of John James Audubon I talk all about the feeding, breeding, and evolutionary history of these birds.  Also, I unpack the mystery of the exceedingly rare Cory's Bittern.

In the final leg of our journey we uncover the secrets of Norwich, explore leisure on the water, walk in the footsteps of mammoths and uncover an age-old knitting tradition amongst fishing families. It’s all to be discovered, and so much more, along the Bittern Line. Norwich tour guide John takes us on an olfactory adventure in the market, through an art deco arcade to castle ramparts on high with stories and secrets from Norfolk’s unofficial capital. Find out how Norwich had its own great fire (well ahead of London!) as we pass through Tudor streets on the way to the city’s beautiful cathedral. Out of the city and into the serene landscape of the Broads, we explore Hoveton and Wroxham – a gateway to the Broads, and home to a busy tour company. Ruth worked here as a teen and came back as director of the company years later. She explains the unique magic of this place to tourists and locals alike. As the lines wind along the coast, David, a curator from Norfolk Museums, joins us with his top tips for fossil hunting and to explain some of the incredible finds along the Deep History Coast. He tells us about the West Runton Mammoth and paints a picture of an ice age Norfolk where rhino, hyena and giant deer roamed the landscape! He also explains how you can safely hunt fossils on the beach and the vital role the public plays in uncovering these seaside secrets. Cromer and Sheringham are two iconic seaside resorts to be enjoyed along the Bittern Line, and we meet local museum founder Tim who tells us how fishing heritage in the area is being preserved by locals today; from fishermen nicknames to the fantastic gansey tradition where close-knit woollen jumpers were worn like a family crest .

URN has a new science podcast! Slap The Chicken aims to provide an entertaining look at a variety of scientific topics. This first episode is based around explosions.

Ein scheuer Wasservogel aus der Familie der Reiher wird heute von Antonia und Philipp so richtig unter die Lupe genommen. Beide haben diesen Vogel in "the real world" noch nicht gesehen. Dafür können sie den den berühmten Ruf erschreckend gut nachahmen. So gut, dass sie beschlossen haben nächsten Sommer zusammen ihre erste Orni-Expedition zu planen und durch ihre Lockrufe den scheuen Vogel aus dem Röhricht zu locken. Natürlich aus der Ferne.

Fergus' book was recently launched at The Book Centre Waterford. He talks about what inspired the work, from masculinity to spirituality to regret and guilt. He also did a reading of some of his work in studio.

This week we're going to learn not about strange birds, but about strange sounds some birds make. Thanks to Sam for the suggestion, and thanks to Llewelly and Leo for suggesting two of the birds we feature today! Further watching: Greater prairie chicken courtship display A bittern, weird swamp bird: An American woodcock, adorable: Ocellated turkey, beautiful and goofy: Greater prairie chicken: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. Halloween is over and we’re all just about sick of candy, or maybe that’s just me. Either way, if you live in the northern hemisphere we’re heading into winter, but if you live in the southern hemisphere spring is in full swing! And spring means birdsong! Thanks to Sam for the suggestion that we do a whole episode about interesting bird calls, and thanks to Llewelly and Leo for some excellent bird suggestions. But we can’t cover all the weird bird calls out there in one episode. I think I’ll make this a recurring topic, and every so often we’ll get a weird birdsong episode. This time we’ll learn about a few birds of North America, although one is from Central America. Let’s start with this unusual sound. [Bittern call] That’s the call of the male American bittern, a type of heron that lives throughout most of North America. It’s brown with paler streaks that help camouflage it in the reeds and water grasses where it spends most of its time. It likes freshwater marshes and other wetlands with lots of tall plants to hide in. When the bittern feels threatened, it stands still, points its long bill upwards with its neck stretched out, and sways slightly to imitate the reeds around it. But it still does this even if it’s standing out in the open, because while it’s a neat bird, it maybe is not exactly a genius. The bittern eats fish, crustaceans, insects, and other small animals. Like many birds, whatever parts of its food it can’t digest, like fish scales and dragonfly wings, form into pellets in its digestive tract that it regurgitates later. Males sometimes fight over territories by flying upwards in a spiral, both birds trying to stab each other with their bills. The male is the one that makes the weird call we just heard. He gulps air to inflate his esophagus, which is the inside part of the throat, and uses the air to make his call. This is more similar to the way frogs call than birds. He also clacks his bill. He only makes this call during breeding season, which is in the spring and summer. Next, let’s listen to the call of another North American bird, the American woodcock: [American woodcock sound] The American woodcock is a relatively small bird with short legs, basically no tail, large black eyes, and a long pointy bill. It’s considered a game bird although I’m not sure why, since people don’t seem to eat it. It’s brown with black and lighter brown markings which camouflage it perfectly among dead leaves, and it looks like a shore bird because it’s actually closely related to shore birds like sandpipers. It lives in woodlands and pastures throughout eastern North America. It uses its long bill to probe the ground for earthworms, and the tip of the upper half of the bill, properly called a mandible, is flexible so the woodcock can grab a worm without actually opening its beak. It also eats small insects and other invertebrates, and seeds. It’s mostly active at dawn and dusk, and it migrates at night. In spring, the male woodcock attracts females by a flight display called sky dancing. He spirals upward, then down again, chirping melodically while the wind through three specialized primary feathers in his wings make a twittering sound, which is what we just heard. Next is this bird, which was suggested by Llewelly. [ocellated turkey call] That’s the ocellated turkey, also called the green peacock. It mostly only lives in a small area of Mexico called the Yucatan Peninsula.

Emma Williams knows a LOT about bittern. This is impressive because they’re very difficult to find. She calls them the ‘ninjas of the wetlands’. In this episode, Nic and Emma talk about tracking bittern and embarrassing yourself in Mitre 10. www.doc.govt.nz/podcast

Sail in our way-back sieve to visit the ghost of Halloween past with a listener favorite from 2017 - What is a Skul-a-Mug-Mug you ask? This episode is inspired by "Black is Bittern" by Robert Heidbreder, a fabulous nonsense book about these creatures! Be sure to download our spooky activity sheet filled with ideas for the season....and stay tuned....we will have more spooky stories heading your way...Bawhahahahaaaaaa!

In 1911 a photograph of young Bittern in the nest taken by Emma Turner proved that Bitterns were breeding again in Norfolk having been driven to extinction in Britain in the late 1800s. Using extracts from her book, 'Broadland Birds', this programme tells the remarkable story of Emma Turner a pioneer of bird photography (1866-1940); who spent some 20 years at Hickling Broad in Norfolk, where she lived on a houseboat she designed named 'Water Rail' (after the first photograph she took in the Broadlands) and in a hut on a tiny island amongst the reeds (which became known as Turner's island). After meeting and being inspired by Richard Kearton (who along with his brother Cherry Kearton was one of earliest wildlife photographers) she decided to take up wildlife photography and to document all the Broadland birds. She befriended two marshmen, Alfred Nudd and keeper Jim Vincent, and with their help she learned the ways of the marsh, and how to find, study and photograph the Broadland birds. It was Vincent who helped her find the young Bittern in 1911. She was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Photographic Society for her photograph of the bird. Emma Turner was not only a pioneer bird photographer but a hugely respected ornithologist, whose studies of birds contributed enormously to our knowledge today. She died in 1940 with many accolades including having been one of the first ten women to be elected a fellow of the Linnaean Society and the first honorary ladies member of the British Ornithologists' Union. Sound recordings by wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson. Produced by Sarah Blunt. First broadcast on Tuesday 24 Jan, 2012.

Les Stroud - TV's "Survivorman" - and Mike Clink - producer of such classic albums as Guns 'N Roses "Appetite for Destruction" - join Tully to discuss Les' musical endeavors, in particular "Bittern Lake," the recently released album on which the two collaborated.

A caller told Laura about a couple of fun encounters with American Bitterns.

In the third of five recollections about his encounters with birds, writer and wildlife programme-maker Stephen Moss recalls the first time he saw a Bittern - a bird which whilst it produces a loud booming call can be quite elusive. Tweet of the Day has captivated the Radio 4 audience with its daily 90 seconds of birdsong. But what of the listener to this avian chorus?
