about

Deciduous woodlands are found across the Deccan plains of central India, and are home to some of India's most characteristic birdlife. This album comes from one unedited recording, with birdsong gradually develping as the sun rises.

We begin with white-browed fantails, prinias, barbets, bulbuls, orioles and other small birds together weaving a melodic chorus. Among them, the quick drumming of a tiny brown-capped pygmy woodpecker sounds like a creaking door, while alexandrine parrots, turtle doves and scimitar babblers can also be heard. Later a pair of Indian grey hornbills fly in, and a troup of langurs call nearby.

This is a magic recording from a perfect morning, presenting a symphony of India's dry-country songbirds.
