Ionian Sea, Lefkada, Greece on 5th September 2026 – by Tash Walker (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I recorded this in the Ionian Sea, holding a hydrophone just above the rocks where the tide was moving. What comes through is a whole submerged conversation – clicks and crackles, pops and snaps, layered under the slower rhythm of water against stone. Some of those sounds are fish, and barnacles, but most of that crackling is likely snapping shrimp: tiny crustaceans with one oversized claw that snaps shut so fast it forms a bubble in the water, which then collapses and makes the sound.

Dead leaves on the ground in late summer, Bethnal Green, London, UK in 2026 – by Eleanor McDowall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Since early August, through this summer’s multiple heatwaves, this park has had a thick carpet of dead leaves. Right now you can see the beginnings of a false autumn as full green branches stand side by side with skeletal bare trees, the fallen leaves slowly taken away by the council in large transparent bags.”
Cowbells, Tegernsee, Germany on 11th August 2026 – by Phoebe McIndoe (opens the original)
Sparrows on a patio, Vejer De La Frontera, Spain on 30th July 2026 – by Cesar Gimeno Lavin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Every evening the sparrows would descend onto this bush that covered the walls of the patio. For the first hour or so they would always make lots of noise, sounded like they were arguing!”
Tawny Owl (probably), Glasgow, Scotland at 4.48am on Monday 17th August 2026 – by Steve Urquhart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“This nocturnal visitor has been right outside our bedroom window these past few mornings, just a couple of miles from Glasgow city centre. At first I wondered if it might be a fox cub. Today I managed to record its call… my bird identification app reckons it’s a Tawny Owl. My friend, who knows about these things, agrees, and says it’s very likely a girl owl, because girls go “too-wit” (more like “ke-wick”) and boys go “hoo-hoo”.”
