Relaxation Frogs Spring sounds. All the words have been removed from this version for your enjoyment . Frog chorus captured on 17th March 2023, Freshfield Formby Merseyside, UK Our first lunch outside on sunny St Patrick's day 17 March 2023. We have 2 ponds in the garden. One has a sunny aspect. The other enjoys a shaded position next to a large Cyprus tree. A new rain water system introduced recently captures fresh rain water and feeds the ponds filling them with fresh rain water. Solving our leaking pond problem. One frog floats alone in the newly topped up shaded pond. The sunny pond has a chorus of 20 frogs some floating, some sitting on the piles of frog spawn that have only recently been laid. (see photo). This recording captures the frogs welcoming the arrival of the female frogs. The female frogs have returned to lay their eggs - frogspawn. No female frogs were moved but it will be interesting to see how long it takes or if any female goes for the replenished shaded pond . The shaded pond currently only attracts frogs on hot summer days . These confident little frogs liked being photographed. They were brave not moving for any one. The dog was fascinated by them. ……. …….. ……… ………. ………. .. If you have a story or voice you would like to be recorded email Formby Podcast …………………………………. Formby Podcast @ gmail. com

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

At midnight by a rural pond on Sao Miguel in the Azores, dozens of frogs croak their nightly chorus uninterrupted, as a recording device is placed among them and left. All around the pond, voice rise rhythmically and in unison, creating a midnight chorus of frog calls.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.

This was recorded in the middle of a clear and calm night at the Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was late enough that there was no air traffic and no sound from the distant highway, therefore this recording is free of noise pollution. Listen for the sound of pine cones as they occasionally fall from the nearby Ponderosa Pine tree. This recording is a part of the same recording session which the previous episode came from. With the help of my daughter Sierra and her excellent choice of recording location, we set up the recording rig on the evening prior to this recording and recorded all night and into the next morning.

Send me a message on Facebook or Instagram, or email me at soundbynaturepodcast@gmail.com I am still hoping for a swift end to Putin's war against Ukraine. The unprovoked imperialistic aggression is utterly unjustifiable, and the ongoing intentional killing of innocent civilians is truly beyond the pale. I hope that the international community does all it can to put an end to this senseless assault against Ukraine and its people. PEACE FOR UKRAINE NOW!!!

No music, no voices, just the sound of night time at a swamp on Wadawarrung Country in Victoria.   Listening Notes from Ann Jones:  There are at least three species of frogs calling all the way through this recording – maybe more. And they provide a wonderful blanket of noise for you to snuggle under. Here's what I can hear:   00:00:07 – The ‘tonk', ‘bonk' and ‘donk' of the pobblebonk (Limnodynastes dumerilii). These frogs are sometimes also called banjo frogs because of their plucking call. They are a relatively big frog, maybe 8 or 9 cm long when fully grown, with a very pleased look on their face.   00:00:15 This is the spotted marsh frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis) and it's an interesting one. It sounds a bit like a striped marsh frog. But Jordann and Gracie from the Australian Museum FrogID team assure me it's the southern call race of the spotted! In the north part of its range, the call of the spotted marsh frog is entirely different than in western Victoria.   00:00:44 The consisted creaking of thousands of common eastern froglets. Individually they sometimes sound like a ratchet creaking back, but together it's a cacophony of clicks all blending together. These are tiny little things, even when fully grown they might hit a top of 3 cm. They're brown, and sometimes they have gorgeous stripes in different brown and olive tones which makes them look a little bit like a lolly.   00:01:02 The high-pitched groups of calls that start softer and build in intensity are brown tree frogs. The frequencies really can hurt the human ear. These are a smallish brown frog that can live in drier parts of the bush. They don't need to be right in the water all the time.   00:18:22 This is a set of sonar searching calls of a freetail bat. There are few microbats whose calls sit within the range of human hearing, and your ability to hear this will depend on your age and how well you've looked after your hearing.   00:25:20 This is the growling barky cough of the brushtail possum. With this call it is communicating its territory to the other possums in the vicinity.   00:30:10 The possum comes very, very close to the microphone and you can also hear lambs calling in the distant farmland.   00:46:10 There is something softly creeping here. Probably not the brushtails which tend to stampede everywhere they go. You can just hear the very, very quiet clicks of branches moving every once in a while, over the coming minutes.   00:50:20 More bat sounds. It is clicking and listening to the bounce back echoes to determine where its prey might be.   01:02:30 The brushtail is back.

This recording was gathered on a clear, cool night beside a small wet meadow near the Ja She Creek Campground in Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, Shasta County, California. The frogs sang in chorus continuously before an unidentified animal walked onto the wet and grassy stage and compelled them to end their performance. There is unfortunately some noise pollution on this recording, in the form of air traffic, but the frogs were singing loudly and I didn't think it overshadowed their performance.

From Dustin Hoffman to Maya Angelou, Stephen Hawking to Victoria Wood, we have glimpses into the castaways' lives and times. Coronation Street stalwart, Betty Driver explains why she chose a song she hates to take with her to the island, Dawn French recalls the infamous 'puddle' scene in the Vicar of Dibley and legendary broadcaster Richard Dimbleby describes his very early days in broadcasting. Cilla Black, interviewed in 1964, describes how her career began, Ian Fleming talks about the early days of James Bond and Louis Armstrong reveals how he first began playing the trumpet. Extracts from the programmes of all the previous presenters - Roy Plomley, Sue Lawley and Sir Michael Parkinson - include the voices of Baroness Barbara Castle, Alfred Wainwright, Russell Harty, Jacqueline de Pre, Catherine Cookson and Lady Thatcher. Kirsty's favourite moments include Noel Gallagher remembering being forced to dance at his wedding, Sarah Millican explaining why she chose the Frog Chorus and Sir David Attenborough's choice of disc - the Lyre Bird. Castaways also explain their choice of luxury, introduce a diverse selection of their choice of discs and describe what they would do to survive on the desert island.

The song I have sent you this week is called The Story of Skiffle and is a song I wrote for,and as a tribute to, John Lomax who was a dear friend of mine....I first saw his skiffle group called The Atlantics in 1958 and it was the first time I heard an electric guitar played live...40 years later I met him and we became good friends....this song got us a gig (via Chas McDevitt) at the Finland skiffle convention in 2001 and I put a group together (including John) and off we went....skiffle was the basis of rock and roll...sadly John is no longer with us and I miss him. .The Christmas countdown has begun....all the prices have 99 pence at the end £149.99.....£99.99.....purely to make the price sound cheaper...which people seem to fall for....YOU'RE GETTING A PENNY CHANGE for goodness sake....it's like the old 99 guineas...which was effectively £105........and we are bombarded again with all the old played out Xmas songs in shops and on the radio...A Child is Born...All I want For Christmas is You....and the dreadful Simply having a wonderful Christmas time...and the even worse Frog Chorus...if we must be subjected to Christmas songs PLEASE give us some new ones....yours sincerely Mr.Grumpy. Cliff has got a new single out called "Better To Dream" and it is really good....record of the week on BBC Radio 2 who are keeping in with him...I wonder why?...I'm not particularly a Cliff fan but he's done a good job on his latest album......and I became a fan of Andre Rieu after seeing him interviewed....what a great bloke and what a talent....I've always admired people who arrange parts for orchestras...to hear all the instruments in their head and to get it down on paper is a special gift...I think most people think they just stand in front of the orchestra waving a stick around. ...Football has been featured heavily on the news sadly for the wrong reasons...namely the sexual assaults by coaches on young hopefuls...it makes very uncomfortable watching...most of it seems to have been 30 years ago and has left some of the lads traumatised...what is surprising is none of them seemed to go back for revenge...but unless you have been in that situation you'll never understand...I think this is just the tip of the iceberg................also on the sporting front we have The Sports Personality of the Year coming up.... Andy Murray...despite having NO personality....tennis is possibly the most demanding sport and to achieve what he has this year sets him apart from the rest. .. finally....there has been a bit of an uproar about payouts to top executives....they get the lions share of the profits and the workers get nowt....they can complain and rise up as often as they like and it wont make a blind bit of difference....it's always been noblemen and serfs and it always will be....the bankers and the legal profession etc don't give us lot a second thought...and I doubt whether they even HEAR the moans.....locally we have to endure council cuts yet there is money available for a luxury golf course next to The Royal Liverpool which will "bring money into the area"....I wonder how much of that I'll see....I'll give you ONE guess..

Andy Murray...despite having NO personality....tennis is possibly the most demanding sport and to achieve what he has this year sets him apart from the rest. .. finally....there has been a bit of an uproar about payouts to top executives....they get the lions share of the profits and the workers get nowt....they can complain and rise up as often as they like and it wont make a blind bit of difference....it's always been noblemen and serfs and it always will be....the bankers and the legal profession etc don't give us lot a second thought...and I doubt whether they even HEAR the moans.....locally we have to endure council cuts yet there is money available for a luxury golf course next to The Royal Liverpool which will "bring money into the area"....I wonder how much of that I'll see....I'll give you ONE guess..
