Moving into the second half of my year of forest walks in a local woodland the place is dark with dappled shade from canopy of foliage. This is a mixed woodland with both broad leaved trees and coniferous. The two types of tree tend to stay with their own and so the sound of the wind can be, if not distinctly different as it blows through either needles or leaves, certainly discernible, though perhaps not in the short sound clip below.
It may be the sound of the wind that has set the Jays off with their conversation in this sound clip . . . or maybe it was me. Either way, there are many Jays in this area and they are often to be heard with there somewhat harsh call.
