Featuring topical issues, up to date taxonomy, anecdotal stories, fantastic illustrations from Killian Mullarney and amazing photography; there is something for everyone.

THE RE-DISCOVERY OF THE BROWN FISH OWL IN THE WESTERN PALEARCTIC

Ben — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:19:20 +0000

The Brown Fish Owl is one of the rarest birds in the Western Palearctic, with very little previously known about this elusive bird. Until Now.

Arnoud van den Berg of The Sound Approach, with help from fellow birders Soner Bekir, Murat Çuhadaroglu, and Emin Yogurtcuoglu, has been traveling across Turkey in search of the Brown Fish Owl in an attempt to record and learn more about this incredible species.

The Brown Fish Owl was thought extinct in the Western Palearctic with sightings becoming scarce and virtually non-existent this century.

Arnoud has published his findings in a paper for the Dutch Birding Association where you can read all about this bird’s nocturnal activities the behaviour of its juveniles.

Stop Seabirds from eating plastic!

Ben — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:48:14 +0000

You wouldn’t believe how much plastic refuse a seabird can fit into its stomach, so we support this Lush Cosmetics campaign to stop it. By taking plastic litter out of the seas and re-using it in their black pots, Lush are hoping to ensure that seabirds eat what is right for them, not bottle caps that take 450 years to break down.

When Mark Constantine saw the above photo, he resolved to do something about it. Kate from Lush Cosmetics will be joining us on our stand (Marquee 1) at this year’s British Bird Fair. Please come along and find out more about her campaign to protect seabirds from ingesting plastic refuse!

Head over to Lush to find out more.

For the first time, a selection of recordings made by the Sound Approach are available on itunes UK and Amazon UK for download. We’ve been busy working with Lush Cosmetics, providing them with a range of sounds for the music they have accompanying their various spa treatments. Lush have decided to release all the music, original compositions by Simon Emmerson of The Imagined Village and Afro Celts fame, from their spas across four albums, with Sound Approach recordings cropping up on all four. For more information, check out Lush’s website where you can also buy physical copies of the albums, or find them on Amazon UK.

For a chance to win a set of all four Lush Spa albums, tell us which Sound Approach book did Simon Emmerson also provide the music for? Email your answers to info@soundapproach.co.uk – the first five correct answers will win a set of CDs.

Good Luck!
