Very nice Bob, well done.

It was initially a little quiet for my setup, but I do have the game sounds turned down from the norm so that's more my *fault* than anything wrong with your files, but once I had the sounds playing nicely I got to thinking...…..

A reskin of Derek Siddle's Crow; still a fair way off, but it's a start :) ….soon be able to recreate RSPB Conwy :wink:

Well, stone the crows! Thanks for your help :). I'll maybe have a tinker with the volume levels and see what can be done.

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

Indeed, the Curlew sounds lovely when heard with the Lapwing, as heard on an old steam LP I have of a Black 5 and an 8F on Shap :).

Yes, there are a few routes that have birdsongs included, but, you can't do a quick search for anything specific because they are all in .AP files. Exeter Kingswear (Riviera Lines in the 50s) has at least a dozen birdsongs included, I'm sure you can create a spreadsheet and search through all the files of every British route (DTG and 3rd party, and possibly the UKTS freeware pack of Ambient sounds) and make a note of exactly what is available and take it from there.

Cheerz. Steve.

Yes, the curlew has a sort of haunting sound. :)

Those sounds are from West Highland Extension I believe.
