Spring Notes from Ågesta Dawn; The NocMig Files

In this episode I present two sound magazines for listeners. The first of these concerns a single day at Ågesta Reserve, just south of Stockholm City. I visited the reserve on 10th May 2025 and spent a wonderful morning actively recording a large amount of species at the site, moving from one bird to the next, simply enjoying the rich and varied birdlife at the site. On the day, the place was alive with birds, all of which were extremely vocal and I secured a large amount of wonderful audio in this single visit. On days such as this, it is simply incredible to be in the field, here in Sweden. 

The second sound magazine should appeal to all those who regularly tune in to Wild Bird Acoustics and are interested in nocturnal migration. Here I discuss some of  the better audio recordings I managed over the course of spring 2025 at my main listening station at Landsort, Sweden. 2025 was an extremely productive season of spring migration and I have plenty of interesting audio to share. Join me as I lift the veil on nocturnal bird migration over the Stockholm Archipelago.

Transcript

 You are all very welcome to Wild Bird Acoustics. I'm your host, Alan Dalton, and I'll be taking you on a journey into sound.

Now welcome everybody to another episode here at Wild Bird Acoustics. We have a wonderful, wonderful episode lined up for you today. Now I'm gonna start off the episode with a wonderful sound magazine. All of the recordings were taken on the same day. That is the 11th of May, 2025, and on the day I visited one of my favorite places to go, bird Watch, and indeed field record, which is Augusta Reserve, which is located just south of Stockholm City.

It's a fantastic place to be in spring full of birds and. It is just an incredible place to sound record. It does require getting out early in the morning, but on the 11th of May, I had an absolute blast just moving around reserve, just recording whatever I came across.

Now, before I play that for you folks, I would just like to say thank you very, very much for the feedback.

This is season three of the podcast, and the listenership is doing an amazing job. It seems spreading the word about the podcast. Please continue. If you have a friend or a boarder you know who is interested in bird calls, just let them know about the podcast. By word of mouth and that helps greatly just get a few more listens here.

It's nice to see the podcast is climbing slowly in ratings, and what I'm hoping for is a few more listens to make it all worthwhile. I've spent an awful lot of time, a huge amount of time in the field as always, collecting this audio and it would be nice to reach a bigger audience. With that said, I'm gonna move on now with the next Sound magazine.

This is all recorded, as I say on the 11th of May, 2025, actively recording with the Tingo pela around the reserve. An incredible way to spend the day, and I really enjoyed the day out in the field. We'll give it a listen now, folks. This is spring August. Reserve one of the best times of the year to be in the area.

Enjoy this folks.



 Now welcome everybody to another sound magazine here at Wild Bird Acoustics, and I have a wonderful sound magazine for you today. And this concerns a single day visit to our guest reserve, just south of Stockholm City, quite close to Foresta. It's a fantastic reserve. I love the place and it's always gonna be good for birds in may.

Quite a lot of birds returning at that time of the year. And on this particular morning, my main target was Eurasian bitter and booming. So I set out early in the morning, got there at dawn and as I approached reserve, I just kept my ears open and just wandered around. Now, on the day I was using a Linga problem mainly.

I also had a small dropper ring with me. But the four species I'm gonna give you is Eurasian re a very, very common species. And I found this bird singing just beside Lake Augusta. And it's quite a nice recording. It's very, very busy in the background. You can hear things like Willow warbler newly returned in song.

There's distant cuckoo, lovely bit of displaying snipe overhead. Also, the talking of Blackbird Black had a goal passing gray light goose. There's also Thrush Nightingale singing away in the distance, the Tick of Robin, and also some field fair calls. Have a listen to this. This is Eurasian Ren at Augusta Reserve.

Now, next up I have a very, very short recording for you, and this was a small party of Gaal just flying overhead. It was about three males and I think two females, and they were just flying straight above my head, just given a few calls. So this is Gaal, very common species at Augusta in the background.

There's a few calls here from Eurasian coup once again, gadwall at Augusta Reserve.

Now one of the species I'm very, very interested in or have become very interested in over the last couple of years is Northern Wheat here, and I spent a lot of time just wandering around and there's a couple of pairs of northern wheat here in the area. Generally speaking, they're quite silent, but I did come across this male.

I didn't think I'd get a great recording of it. And it's a real testament. This recording to the power of the Tinga PTs fantastic at amplifying even quiet song at quite a distance. And you will hear that in this recording. This is a male northern wheeler sitting quite high up in the treetops and it's just chuckling away, giving some song.

Plenty of mimicry in here, certainly Green Finch and a few other species. But I'd let you just list the. In the background, you have Canada goose gray lag. As always, there's a calling pheasant here and a distant cuckoo, but the main subject here is the wonderful chuckling song of Northern Wheat here and adult male at Augusta Reserve.

Now Augusta Reserve is a wonderful venue. It's very, very small and compact. Just as you get off the main road, there's a lake called a Guess the corn, and that's a fantastic venue for birds on the lake. You have species like pochard, K breeding, grape crested grape. There's breeding Sian grape. Quite often get things like Caspian turn in amongst the black head of gold colony, so there's always something going on.

It's an excellent location for many, many species. Very good for gaal. But I was quite interested in returning migrants on this occasion, and I found this wonderful singing lesser white throat, very close to Lake Augusta, and I stopped to record the bird. Now in the background here, you will hear the calls of water rail, just the harsh kind of calls of the species.

Something I wasn't going to ignore, and I'll come back to that a little bit later. Now, in the background here, as always in the lake, very, very busy Canada Goose, crowd like goose, a singing reed bunting in the reed beds, and once again, this is a newly returned lesser white throat. Just getting some wonderful song again recorded with the lingo.

Pala. Wonderful bit of kit and nice, clear recording. Have a listen.

Now Augusta is a wonderful place for pipe fly catcher, and it's one of the main reasons I visited there kind of late April, early May, and I never heard of actually recording these birds. And I think it's partially because I grew up in Ireland where the species was extremely rare. I didn't see my first pipe flight hatcher until I was 19 or.

Actually, I tell a lie a little bit younger. I was about 16, 17. Adam was a fantastic species to see in Oregons. Many years later, I saw a breeding male in Wicklow just south of Dublin, and I still have very, very fond memories of that bird. To me, it was an absolute mega, so it's a species I never turned my back on, even though they're incredibly common here in the summer in Sweden.

But after a long dark winter here in Sweden, it's always nice to get out and record returning migrants. In this recording, you're gonna hear Pi Fly Catcher and Adult Male in song against the background of a blackhead gold colony. Quite a nice recording. The Sedge warbler the distance as well. I'll play it for you now.

This is Pi Fly Catcher at Augusta Reserve.

Now the date was the 11th of May, and that's significant to me because around the 10th of May, it's quite methodical, actually, in Sweden, it's amazing how very, very timely these birds are hor, and the species I'm talking about is thrush Nightingale. Now this is an incredible songster, very, very common in Sweden.

Very, very powerful songbird. And I came across this bird just giving some bits of song quite close to an area at the back of Lake August Aqua, and I just got a quick recording with the Tinga problem. As I say, it's a very, very powerful songbird. You can hear these birds for upwards of a kilometer away.

It's quite incredible the volume, the species can actually just punch out there. And you can kind of hear that in this recording recorded with the Tinga Pbla. Once again, in the background there is wood pigeon, a few wing claps at the start, and then the Song of the Species. There's a distant common chaffing.

Some will of war burn the distance also, and as always in the background at this place, Canada Goose, but the main species here is Thrush Nightingale. You can't miss it. It's an absolutely wonderful song. Not the longest recording. But I'll run, read that a bit later. I've got a longer recording for you. I came back to this bird a little bit later and I was singing a little bit better.

Just for now, I'm gonna play you a short recording of Thrush Nightingale.

Now a very brief recording next of Wood Sandpiper. I found a small group of these species at the pump house, and it's another area just at the back of Lake Augusta. It's just a very, very nice marsh area, a lot of long grass and very shallow. And it's a very, very good area for Wood Sandpiper in the spring as they're passing through on their way north on passage.

So in the background here, you're gonna hear some calling Common Snipe and singing Reed Bunting, but the main call here is that of Passage Wood Sandpiper. Again, quite a short recording. We'll have a quick listen.

Now it's quite wonderful to get out in the spring and very, very common species are never to be overlooked. And here you have a singing willow warbler. It was one of the first occasions that came across a species singing here in Sweden this spring in 2025. And there's a lovely bit of background here with some displaying common snipe overhead, just giving the flight display.

But the highlight here is some booming, bitter, and action in the background. Have a listen for that. Again, I'll return to that species. Bittern was a species, which was the main target species on the day, but in the background also, here you have hooded crow again, Canada Goose. The singing Black cap and a singing thrush Ingal, the main species here are the main target, again with the Linga.

Pala is a singing willow warbler, newly returned on territory at Augusta Reserve.

So there you go. That was Willow Warburg in song. Bit of plane noise there at the background. It's a bit of a problem and I guess that is quite a lot of aviation traffic overhead. But it's something you just have to deal with. And the tinga problem is actually quite good at blocking out that kind of noise.

It's a very kind of focused way of recording birds. So I don't mind a little bit of background home, and it's something you just have to put up with basically in this modern world. I'm gonna move on now and as promised a longer recording. Of Thrush Nightingale, I went back to a board. I'd found singing earlier.

I really wanted to record the Species. It was one of the first boards I'd come across in the spring, and there was an absolutely incredible background here. Willow Warbler and Song Wood Pigeon. Also bt, and also the wonderful Song of Missile thrush, a bird singing in the woodland in the background. But this is a very nice recording, a longer recording of Thrush Nightingale in song once again, auto August Reserve.

Now another short recording here, and this time I came across this way, throat, a common way, throat, just giving scolding calls. In the background, there's Blackbird. This again, booming bittern. I'll come to that in a minute. And also calls of Willow Warper, or rather, the song of Will Warbler and also wood pitching.

This is a wonderful recording. Very, very short, but I really like these scolding calls of common white throat. Have a listen.

Now, next up, the target species I went for on the morning, which is Eurasian Bittern. I wanted the recorded species booming in the redbeds. And to get this recording, I used a drop break, which was a couple of micro uc pros, and they were absolutely fantastic. Now, as good as the Linga probably is, it isn't great for recording.

Very, very low frequencies, and that's why I opted for the micro ucs, just a parallel lab mics, they take in lower frequencies much better. And to record this, I used a Tasca F four AAV two. A new recorder that I got over Christmas and that has been absolutely fantastic. It's a very, very small device and it records 32 bit recordings, and that means I can hire the volume and it never gets blown out.

But like I say, this is a wonderful recording. Two passages here of booming Eurasian Bittern, and a wonderful background as well. The Sed warbler singing in the background. Willow Warbler, blue tit. Also blackhead Gus at the Colony. Grow like goose and wood pigeon, as well as singing thrush, nightingale. But the main species here, the target species is Eurasian Bittern, booming in the reeds.

And we'll have a list of this now. A wonderful noise and one of my favorite sounds and something I've wanted to record for years and years and years. I've got a few recordings in 2024, and it's wonderful just to get nice recordings of this species. This is Eurasian Bitter.

Now I am gonna return to a species you heard earlier in the background of an earlier recording, and that recording was lesser white throat. And in the background of that recording you could hear water A. Now this bird was calling constantly and it eventually got my fault attention. And I made a lovely recording with the Tinga problem.

In the background Here in the Reed beds is wonderful recording of S Orbiter in full song. There's also wood, pigeon, blesser, white throat, the same bird I recorded earlier, gray lag, and Canada Goose, the Black cat gold colony. As always in the background, and the bird is just giving some harsh calls all the way through the recording and it ends with the charming call of these species.

You could say it's not the most pleasant sound in the world. It sounds for all the world like a high squealing pig, something being murdered in the red beds, but it's a very, very nice sound to me. I absolutely love this. So this is Water Health Auto guest reserve.

Now, if somebody was to ask me what the joy of field recording is or what attracts you to field recording, I'd probably just play them something like the next recording. So what happened this occasion was I'm just walking through the woods, not really expecting anything, and all of a sudden I come across a black woodpecker.

Now I've had an absolutely incredible year in 2025 with this species black woodpecker. It's something I wanted to get a large library. A lot of sound recordings of, and this year I've managed to find three nests. One I actually spent an awful lot of time looking for earlier in the spring, had great success with it, got a lot of recordings, and then I found a second nest at another site.

I won't say where. And then at a guest reserve, I'm just walking through the woods and I see this. Just something just catches my eye, just a little bit of movement, and I just train the parabola on the bird and eventually our right eye is, it's a female Blackfoot pecker. Now what happened next was the bird moved really, really close to me, and you can hear that in the recording.

Bird just moves right beside me onto this tree. I was just gobsmacked. She was literally probably six or seven meters away. And I had no idea what was going on. She just started giving a few calls. And then I heard this very, very odd sound, and the sound you're gonna hear is the sound of very young birds begging for food.

And that's when I realized he was right beside a nest hole. Now, at this stage, I couldn't move. It was right beside a public path. I was very, very surprised by that fact. She was right beside a very, very public path, right through the woodland as she was completely unconcerned. She sat on the tree trunk just looking at me.

And then began to give some contact calls. Next thing she fed, the young, moved away, giving the Floyd call and just moved away. And the result is an absolutely wonderful recording. It was completely unexpected. The last thing I expected to get on the day, and certainly the best recording. And every now and then I get what I call a marquee recording, something very, very special.

And I think this is a very special recording, so I'm gonna play it for you now and it will be the last sound recording of this sound magazine. This is a lovely sequence of calls. Like I say, you'll hear her moving in, you'll hear her wing beats, you'll hear her moving out on the tree trunk. You'll hear the very kind of, almost insect like calls of what I presume were very, very young birds begging for food in the nest cavity.

She phased them, gives a few calls. Move away. Giving the fly call once again, in other words, is a bit going on in the background here. It's not really that important. There's some displaying common snipe, willow, warbler, and other words in the background. This is a wonderful, wonderful recording of a female black woodpecker feeding at the nest hole.

Have a listen folks.

So there you go folks. That's Augusta on the 11th of May, 2025. An absolutely wonderful morning and it's quite incredible to be able to get so many good recordings on a single morning. So I just thought, be nice to walk you through that morning. And like I say, as you can hear, some wonderful, wonderful recordings actually just secured that day.

It was an incredible morning and. There's so much going on in this place. As you can hear in the background, you're recording. One species is such a rich diversity of species in some of these places and I can't help but wondering sometimes what most of these places of sounded like maybe 30 or 40 years ago before the world changed a little bit and birds became just a little bit less populated.

But nevermind that it has been absolutely wonderful to get out to this reserve. It's a fantastic place. Like I say, I try and get out early in the morning just before the aviation noise and traffic noise becomes too much and before too many people start to visit the reserve and it's the best time to go and it results in some wonderful, wonderful recordings.

I do hope you have enjoyed the Sound magazine. I hope you find it relaxing. Just kick back and relax and enjoy these CM Magazines. Folks, I'm recording this in mid-June 2025. This is actually the first sound magazine I've recorded for the third season of Wild Bird Acoustics. I'm not sure where it's gonna slot in to the entire season, but it just gives you a little bit of an idea of my kind of process.

You probably won't hear this probably for maybe several months. That's just the way it goes. Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this sound magazine. That's off me, Alan Dalton here at Wild Bird Acoustics. As always, folks, thank you for listening.



 So there you go folks. That's the 11th of May Auto, August Reserve, just south of Stockholm City, and what a wonderful day. It was so much to record. And at that time of the year, it's just so busy, so many species arriving on migration. There's a huge amount of breeding species at the lake anyway, semi resident species and species that arrive earlier in the spring, but by the 10th, 11th of May, the place is just full of birds as you can hear in that sound recording.

I hope you did enjoy. Now we're gonna move along folks to knock MIG Corner. I know a lot of you guys are very, very active knock mirrors out there, and I thought it'd be nice just to put together a sound magazine just summarizing my efforts in 2025 at LAN ort. And all of this concerns spring migration.

So this is knock mig corner folks, we'll move swiftly along. Get straight into it. Knock mig at LANs ORT in spring 2025.

 Now welcome everybody to another sound magazine here at Wild Bird Acoustics. And in this short Sound magazine, I'm going to be running through some of the knock EG audio I recorded at Lanor in Sweden over the course of spring 2025. It was an incredible spring for Knock M, particularly the last two weeks of April.

It was all about late April really, and in 2025 I had my best Spring ever. Incredible numbers of birds. I think over 26,000, 27,000 birds in total, which is quite remarkable. It basically boiled down to a purple patch over five or six days in late April when the numbers of birds going through were quite incredible, particularly European, Robin Red Wing and Song Thrush.

But I'll get to that a little bit later. For the moment, I'm just gonna run through some of the better bits of audio I picked out, and we'll go through those in this short Sound magazine. Now we'll dive in straight away, and the first recording comes from the 4th of April, 2025. It's a very scar species.

At night at LANs Ark, it is Common Crane. A very short recording here of Common crane passing in the dead of night. Have a listen.

Now a very prevalent species, a regular species in spring at Lanor is common scooter, and 2025 was no exception. How good numbers of birds passing over in April. So a short recording now for you from the 14th of April, 2025. It's a small flock of common scooter overlying the recorder. In the recording, you will hear the calls, the regular calls of male cu coder.

Listen also for the calls of a female bird. Have a listen folks. This is common sculpture.

Now as always, Cuco passage can be very, very tight. It goes through on a very narrow window, and there's always a couple of nights where you get very, very heavy passage of birds. And one of those was the 20th of April. I'm gonna play another recording now of Cuco. Again, mostly males going over giving the classic call of the species, but there's also a few female calls in here as well.

So once again, this is another recording of Cuco at LANs Earth.

Now Eurasian curlier is a species that goes by Reg and Lan ort, eh, it's a species I've actually not managed to get very good audio of at the site for some reason. And I think I've just been unlucky with birds passing distantly as a general rule, but this year I got some lovely recordings. I'm gonna start off with a reasonable recording of some passage curlew at LANs ort.

This is in late April, 2024, and we'll have a listen to that now. First, this is Eurasian curlew.

Now we'll stay on Eurasian Curlew. Another bit of audio for you here. Again, a nice recording of these species passing over this time just after 11:00 PM in the darkness in the background. If you listen carefully, you'll hear a few redwing and song thrush going over. This was recorded on the 21st of April, 2025.

Next up a couple of minutes of wonderful audio of Eurasian curlew once again. This time it's called even a bit of song and the harsh chatter of the species, which they sometimes give on passage. This is a bit longer this recording, and it's absolutely fantastic. Listen carefully, there's lots of passage in the background here with song Thrush.

There's also some blackhead goal. If you listen carefully at about one minute, 11 seconds. There's a ring ule here in this recording as well, and generally speaking, this is just a wonderful, wonderful passage of a Knock M migration. We'll have a listen to this recording. Now, generally speaking, the main subject here once again is Eurasian Curl.

Now, Klu passage in 2025 was quite phenomenal. I got a lot of nice recordings. I'm gonna play one more before I move on to something else. And again, this is Eurasian Klu. It's a song, chatter calls absolutely fantastic, but listen carefully in the background. This came on a night of tremendous passage for European Robin.

You're gonna hear quite a few of their calls in the background. A very busy night of passage once again. I think there's also song thrush here and a Blackbird call, but once again, main subject is Eurasian cor.

Now, the next species I have for you is European Golden Plover. It's a species that goes through Lands Earth in spring and autumn, but not in huge numbers generally. So it's always nice to get a very nice, clear recording, and that's what I have for you here. Again, there's passage in the background, things like song thrush.

But this is a particularly nice, clear recording of European Golden Plover. Very distinctive mournful call, and one of my favorite waiter calls. I'll play that for you now. This is European Golden Plover.

Now by early May you get the first wood sandpipers coming through. Always something I look forward to and have a lovely recording for you here of a group of Wood Sand Piper. Flying over the island in the dead of night, but also in the company of green Sandpiper, which really kind of elevates the recording.

So this is a particularly nice recording of two very closely related species. Green sandpiper and wood Sandpiper, two species, which every knock make recorder looks forward to getting every spring and autumn. This is green Sandpiper and wood Sandpiper in early May, 2025.

No. Now another species I regularly get in early April. It's a wild Feld species, a sea duck, and it is a long tailed duck. Hort is a bit of a specialty site for the species. I get quite a few every spring and it's always lovely to hear their kind of cheerful laughing call as they go over at night. This is Long Tail Duck overlying the recorder on the 10th of May, 2025.

Now next up is a very short recording of missile thrush. It is an incredibly regular species by day, but actually very, very rare at night on lands Ort. Not a regular nocturnal migrant at all. It was always nice to get a nocturnal call. This is the typical rattling call of missile thrush.

Another very, very short recording here, typically of a PI fly catcher. These species don't really lend themselves to podcasting really. They generally give a single call and it just lasts a split second, but a nice, clear recording this of European Pi Fly catcher. You can hear the buzzy timber of the call here.

So this is European Pipe fly catcher, 24th of April, 2025 at the Lan Sortt.

Now recording nocturnal migration can be quite difficult, and every now and then, actually quite often you'll get mystery calls. But every now and then you'll get a clear recording that seems very, very clear, should be identifiable, and it really does confuse you. And that was the case with this next recording.

Now, initially I thought perhaps maybe this was Sheldon, but after just a bit of research and getting a bit of advice from other birders, I've actually discovered this is a female either. The first knock, make record I have of these species, which is kind of funny because the island is absolutely surrounded by thousands of them every spring.

Now, they rarely overfly the island, and that is why I hadn't recorded a female bird up until this point. But quite a nice recording. The bird gives a single pass and then comes back again a second time. In the distance, you can hear male eithers giving their displaying calls, but the main subject of this recording is an overlying female either.

Now, 2025 was a record spring for Ring Zel. I think I got 15 birds in total and that was quite remarkable. I think I have five birds in the four years previous. So really, really good totals this spring and definitely down to the weather. Had huge passage of song Thrush, red Wing Robin, and just mixed in with these where a lot of Ring Les was quite difficult at times.

And I'm gonna play a recording now, which I'm still not sure about. I think it might be a ring ule, but I haven't been able to rule out song thrush completely. And if you listen to this recording quite closely. The opening calls are quite deep. They sound like the top calls of Ring Ule, and then it gives an alarm type call, which could well be Ring Ule as well.

But like I say, haven't actually put this down as Ring ule and they can be quite difficult. So I'll simply play a recording now, which a little bit of a glimpse into how difficult Nom can be. You know, you quite often just hear the polished, finished recordings, but believe me, I get plenty of mystery recordings every single year.

I have a very large amount of them still unidentified on my desktop, so it's not all that easy. Even after several years of nocturnal migration, I still struggle with a few calls every year. So this is the mystery call. Is it a renew? Is it a song rush? Have a listen.

So there you go. What is it, and I'm gonna play recording now. I am Sure. Is Aus we'll happen to listen to this a bit more typical of these species in spring. Short recording. Once again, ring Oel on the 21st of April, 2025.

Now another renewal will end quite a nice recording this one. And the reason for that is the background. There's a wonderful bit of displaying European or Eurasian Woodcock here, a roading bird in the background. And again, it just elevates the recording. So once again, this is renewable passing in the dead night with a lovely backdrop of roading.

Eurasian Woodcock.

Now the final call I'm going to leave you with is that of water oil. This time a wonderfully clear recording of the pip calls of a water rail overlying the recorder. The rare birds on the island breeding, I think, and I think this is one of the local birds, but nevertheless, a very nice shared recording, as I say, of the PIP calls often recorded at night of water a.

We'll have a listen to that now.

So there you go, folks. That's Knock Mig Corner. A little roundup of the better quality audio I've just managed to secure over the course of the spring 2025 at LANs ort. It's an absolutely wonderful location to record nocturnal migration. I'm in the last year of a five year study at the islands and. As record, it's mid-August.

I've just collected another seven weeks of audio, which I'm great Looking forward to going through. That's July and August. Audio should be very, very interesting and we'll see what happens there. And of course, late autumn still to come. The best period on the island. But I hope you have enjoyed that roundup of Spring nocturnal migration at Lan ort.

I know a lot of listeners are active knock makers, and I think some of you greatly enjoy these short sale magazines. That's all for me, Alan Dalton here at Wild Bird Acoustics. Once again, thanks for listening, folks, and we'll see you again in a couple of weeks here at Wild Bird Acoustics.



So there you go, folks. That's neg this spring at the Hort 2025 and a very, very successful season for me on the island.
