Wildlife Sound Recording Society
WSRS Field trip to Kingcombe, Dorset
18-21 May 2007
Lower Kingcombe in Dorset was an excellent
choice. The centre is run by a charitable
trust but is part of the
Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Meadows Nature Reserve of 430 acres,
never having been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizer.
There
proved ample recording opportunity on the reserve, with fox, roe deer,
woodpeckers, warblers, wood pigeon, thrushes, bats, owls and much more.
The
general consensus was that Kingcombe was an excellent venue worthy of
repeating in the future, not least because of the friendly and helpful
staff, and excellent fare provided.
A fuller account appears in the Society’s Journal, “Wildlife Sound” in Autumn 2007.
