including the Collins Guide to Bird Songs & Calls.

Dryad - Woodland soundscapes

'Dryad' - a word used in early Greek to refer to the living spirit of a tree and usually translated as 'wood nymph'.
Ambient scenes, choruses and solos of some of the species that create the musical atmospheres of woodland. Recorded in some of the quietest places left, so that natural sounds can be heard into the distance and a sense of space engendered. The album begins in the darkness just before dawn, and features soundscapes from the activity of spring, through mid-summer and into a winter night.
