A band of cloud slowly drifts towards a sunlit clearing, deep in the Forest of Dean. It’s morning in late May, and the birds are lighting up the space in sound as brightly as the sun. Wrens. Blackcaps. Song thrush. Over the forest floor, tangled vines warm in the heat. High above the approaching clouds, a jet plane softly rumbles by. Perhaps some of its passengers are dreaming of falling rain, in a cool quiet woodland.
We’ve been struggling to sleep in the heat. To help, if you are having the same trouble, we’re sharing another segment of cool and quiet from Nothe Fort, Weymouth. Tied high up in a tree, right beside the fort and with a birds-eye sound-view of the water down below, the microphones captured the unique quietness of this place, through the empty night hours, without anyone about.
Between the stubby trees, a stony path. Shrubs, unusual grasses. Feeling the climb, and the air. For the first time this year it’s warmer than skin. Warm moist and still, like the waft that greets you at the greenhouse door.
We’re really happy to be able to share with you this latest piece of captured quiet, fresh from the Forest of Dean. It’s a passage of early evening time, from deep in the forest last Saturday.
At the edge of a craggy rock promontory, near the giant lighthouse, there’s strong sea wind, and an old rusted crane. Past the collection of weather-beaten fishing huts. Off the footpath. And beyond where the land is safe to walk.
On the footpath from Winchelsea to Rye (the one that goes inland and round in a long loop) we came across a small copse of trees in the corner of a field, by a heavy metal gate. The spot was surrounded on all sides by fields and pastures. The day was starting to get hot, so under the shade we just stood at the gate, to take in the air.
These are the last woods that an ancient track passes through on its rocky way up onto the flanks of Black Hill, Derbyshire. The last woods to catch the spring rains. Walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders bathe in its rich spacious atmosphere before ascending onto the exposed moorland that lies beyond. But there’s nobody about now, it’s five o’clock in the morning. Glorious emptiness, filled with spring rain and birds. A world that’s all theirs, on Dawn Chorus Day 2022.
It’s the dead of night. Everything still. A panoramic stillness, stretching for miles, across this coastal Dorset landscape. The tide’s in, and without the chivvying warmth of day to energise it, the sea has calmed. Calmed, and reduced, into gentle, lullaby rhythms.
