The salt marshes of Essex are special places to explore. They feel so wild, are home to lots of wildlife, and often easy to get to by train. We go there a lot in all weathers.

Sometimes we go to a place and the natural sounds that should be there are missing. There are no birds singing or calling. No rustling of leaves by small animals. No movement in water.
It's shocking when it happens. It shouldn't be like this.

Sometimes we're amazed we can ever get a good enough quiet recording. Places are filled with all sorts of unexpected sounds.
Even after careful planning for a location (away from big roads and flight paths), there can be sounds which means we can't record.

Sound ON! 🎧
Our bittern visitor at Gosling Sike doing some impressive pond skating during the cold weather last week. Bitterns usually like to move silently at the water's edge, but with no water to walk through, this one takes a shortcut.
