The vibrant soundscape between Greenwich Park and the town centre captured from a rooftop garden. Listen out for various birds, the occasional fox, and the "park is now closing" announcement at dusk. This permanent stream was established in April 2026 with a view to developing future research projects utilising the live audio feed. NB - the swifts aren't real (yet). We're trying to attract some to nesting boxes using artificial calls. Notes for nerds: - Omnidirectional FEL Clippy mics - BBI windshields inside sprung tea strainers - Custom made "mic brollies" - Focusrite 2i2 interface - RPi Streambox v 4.2 Special thanks to Sam Sheard and Tristan Agates.
