Several British organizations, including the RVW Society, the Wildlife Sound Recording Society, the British Library and the Royal College of Music, have joined forces. Together they gathered recordings of skylark song from across Britain, along with a few from Sweden.

The collection was set up in response to the rapid decline of the skylark on British farmland. The enterprising album and archive aim to make some noise on behalf of the vanishing bird.

The resulting collection is now open to everyone. Composers, researchers and the simply curious can all access the public sound archive.
