Thomas Doerig / Ramit Singal

In this episode, I am joined by Ramit Singal to delve into the depths of audio recording! We discuss the sounds birds make (both vocal and non-vocal), how recording bird sounds can shed light on many aspects of birds' lives, and how to start recording bird sounds as a beginner. We also discuss birds' different 'dialects', using sound to discern between similar-looking species, and the best habitat types to record bird sounds in. Additionally, we touch on the differences between birding in Australian and India, the playfulness of birds, pelagics and much more!
