A question for listeners of the Wild Bird Acoustics podcast. Would you be interested in episodes featuring long form soundscapes? Relaxing, long ASMR recordings of high quality featuring birds. Stand alone, extra episodes most likely format, expanding Season 3. Yes or No?

All done at Hällögern for 2025. Always a wrench to leave this wonderful place each Autumn. Great Grey Shrike the best this morning, before I locket the cabin down for the winter.

A local Whooper Swan keeping an eye on me just now. Quiet enough today, but the wind is finally getting up and just had a local scarcity, Grey Wagtail, moving through. Hällögern, Northern Sweden.

Jimmy Kimmel has taken off air. If you are serious about protecting the right to free speech, now is the time to cancel your Disney subscription. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Blogbirder's tweet card. The late-night host criticised the Republican response to the killing and his suspension came after pressure from the regulator.
