Every morning we awake (all too early) to the sounds of tropical birds. Hundreds of birds, in dozens of varieties, each singing to the sunrise. At about 5am, the songs are dominated by a mixture of calls to prayer from several local mosques. By 6am, more birds awake and they dominate the scene for another two hours. Today I set out to record the birds from about 6:15-7:15am, the prime time, and I’m really pleased by the results. If you listen carefully, you can hear a faint din of distant traffic.
