This recording starts quietly just before dawn with the very first birds of the morning, but soon rises to a cacophony of many different birds. Later, the frogs kick in. Recorded May 2024.
This is a longer version of last week’s recording of a very birdy morning in Tübingen last spring. In this full clip you hear the full evolution of the chorus from well before dawn, when only a few blackbirds were calling, through a few showers of rain, and ending with a cacophony of bird calls about half an hour after sunrise.
A very birdy morning in Tübingen last spring. Starts well before dawn, when only a few blackbirds were calling, and ends with a cacophony of various species about half an hour after sunrise. This is a shorter excerpt from a quite long recording I’ll post next week.
An extract from an overnight recording of red deer stags calling during the rut. Recorded in Schönbuch, near Tübingen, DE, in September 2023.
This was Tübingen last new years eve: an impressively loud fireworks display all up and down the valley. The recording ends with the deafening crescendo around midnight, which filled the valley with smoke and sent the year out with slightly too many explosions. Caution, this is a fairly loud recording in places so perhaps turn down the headphones!
A big storm rolled in over Tübingen one summer evening. Recorded in the forest on the hill above our place, just as the first rain hit.
A chorus of Marsh Frog (Pelophylax ridibundus) at the Birkensee, in Schönbuch, DE. Recorded on one of the first proper hot days of this Summer (2023).
Recorded overnight in late 2020, featuring many bats, insects, a few nightjar, and some Wood Ducks.
A short clip of a bunch of Crinia signfiera and/or C. parasignifera calling near our house. Recorded in Canberra in Spring 2020.
This was one evening from near our campsite at Coward Springs, along the Oodnadatta track at the south end of Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre. Featuring a very persistent Willie Wagtail, along with a bunch of insects and bats.
