Live stream: south_walney.mp3

South Walney Nature Reserve, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria UK

Cumbria Open Microphone Network (COMN)

Latitude: +54.054138°
Longitude: -3.169961°

The original streambox was built by Grant Smith (SoundCamp) and installed in 2017 by Andrew Deakin (FON) with the kind co-operation of Sarah Dalrymple (CWT). It was upgraded in 2019 and the external antenna removed in 2022.
The streambox is located on a shingle beach at the Southernmost tip of  Walney Island, facing the Atlantic ocean across the bay from Barrow-in_Furness. The beach supports a distinctive flora including the rare Walney Geranium (G. sanguineum var. striatum). In Autumn, seals come to the beach to give birth. From mid April it is home to a large colony of gulls. Sandwich terns, Eiders and other waterfowl and waders can be heard from the water and the beach. The box sits on a small concrete plinth above the tideline.
