i successfully caught a spring thunderstorm this year
on the recording, you can hear thunder, rain, wind, crickets, and of course a nightingale who occasionally weaves his song into the soundscape

here is another recording of a nightingale made in May when the nights are still cold, which causes the silence of insects and other birds
the nightingale song on this recording has a deeper reverb as it is not obscured by other sounds

here is last season's nightingale concert recorded at the end of May on a full moon
the night was warm, so the accompaniment of crickets is quite impressive

uploaded two more soundscapes recorded in May and June last year

here are sounds captured on a hot summer day featuring grasshoppers, crickets, wind, and birds including a sparrow who flew into our meadow to make a bit of a fuss

another May sunset with thrush, nightingale, cuckoo, crickets, wind, and couple of cats walking along the roof near the microphones

I captured some fantastic late night lightning on the ipad last summer. The kind where the entire sky goes white for a few seconds and you see the outline of the trees. I’m hoping to make a video with that one day.
