Finally, it was returned to Germany in 1952, after being used as a bombing range by the English. Through all of this, the island has been an especially important site for ornithology: Heinrich G\u00e4tke\u2019s book <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/heligolandasorni00gtrich\/page\/n9\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\">Heligoland, an Ornithological Observatory<\/a>, was crucial to the study of migration, and the Heligoland Bird Observatory was one of the world\u2019s first. Helgoland, by <a href=\"https:\/\/gruenrekorder.bandcamp.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\">Gruenrekorder<\/a> founder Lasse-Mark Riek, is itself a classic work of ornithology. Originally released in a limited edition in 2013, it forms part of a set of great Gruenrekorder albums newly available on Bandcamp. Riek\u2019s strenuous effort at recording the unique mix of avian life on the island was certainly worth it: murres, Northern gannets, black-legged kittiwakes, and Arctic terns make up a cacophony of sound not likely to be heard outside of this isolated habitat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gruenrekorder featured on Bandcamp Daily The Best Field Recordings on Bandcamp | By Matthew Blackwell \/&nbsp;April 2025 Helgoland | Lasse-Marc Riek The history of Helgoland, or Heligoland in English, is long and turbulent: the North Sea island was taken by the British during the Napoleonic wars, converted into a resort for upper-class Europeans in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22070"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22142,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22070\/revisions\/22142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gruenrekorder.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
