The eighth short video from Chris Walpole, offering a virtual version of the Dawn Chorus Walk to enjoy from the comfort of your own home …

This latest Dawn Chorus film needs no explanation; it features the unmistakable song of the skylark, an almost endless melody delivered from on high. The film shows a recent sunrise at Nine Maidens stone circle.

For the technically minded it took 25 minutes of real time for the sun to illuminate the moor between Yes Tor and the Nine Maidens; this has been sped up in the film – apart from the unexpected appearance of a sheep – into three and a half minutes. Chris Walpole
