Birds or bird sounds when somewhat close to land

[Excelsior]

There really should be a sound added within certain distance to any land mass to at least indicate when you are nearby land. Sometimes those small islands are missed when there is a heavy fog or even night.

and some seagulls that follow your ships from time to time as well!

 

edit: Seriously though I think a subtle detail like this would add tremendously to the feel of the game.
