A virtual dog walk in 4K video and HQ bird song audio recorded on location early morning that follows a nature path from Blackstone car park and picnic site (bottom of Bewdley by-pass) to the river Severn and the banks, through Stokes wood and back to the Start.
This is an easy dog walk that is crammed full of natural wildlife combined with a beautiful soundscape that was recorded separately at the same location to capture the morning birdsong. The bird song was recorded at about 7am using a Zoom H2n recorder at the highest MP3 bit-rate set to mid-side pointing away from the road on the far side of the river.
Walk with my dog Ruby and me as we enjoy the early summer Bluebells at the side of Stokes Wood. I do my best to keep Ruby out of the swampy section that remains after the flooding of the River Severn back in February 2020.
I also include an alternative path that runs alongside the wood away from the river as it contains a plethora of bluebells and wild garlic and is well worth a look.
What isn't caught on camera, is a peregrine falcon that took a pigeon out of the air amongst a great deal of noise from the falcon...perhaps it is hunting for its chicks that nest nearby, which I believe is likely to be the case.
A link to the route on Garmin's site can be seen here: connect.garmin...
