Peter Ryley formerly RSPB Film Unit @rspbengland.bsky.social reflects on the local extinction of bird species
Skylarks are now on the red list for extinction. Appreciating birdsong and music inspired by birdsong 🎶 can help open up our hearts and minds to what this loss means.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear public premiere performance of David Hindley’s birdsong works for piano solo: woodlark, nightingale, skylark www.bcmg.org.uk/Event/bird-f...
And this is how extinctions too often happen, if we let them. Incrementally, cumulatively via isolated ‘development’ projects which on their own seem innocuous. Strategic landscape environmental assessment is essential: far better than project-specific EIAs.

Cambs wildlife sound recording society gifted this picture of David taken in the 90s. Victor C Lewis’ birdsong recordings became David’s source for transcription, analysis and composition. Fanfare to be premiered a week today is based on Lewis’ recording of a corn bunting 🎶 in Wiltshire on 21.7.63
