Concert crépusculaire de Bombina bombina (Sonneur à ventre de feu) dans une roselière mosellane, le 11/05/2022 (espèce introduite, découverte en 2009).
En plus de cet amphibien dont le chant sature l'espace sonore dans les graves, les autres espèces composant ce paysage sont notamment : Rougegorge familier, Grive musicienne, Merle noir, Râle d'eau, Gallinule poule d'eau, Troglodyte mignon, Grenouille commune (P. kl. esculentus), Grillon champêtre et Courtilière commune.
Malgré l'ambiance naturellement fournie, la pollution sonore arrive à s'immiscer ponctuellement (motos, avions).

What you hear in this track are the very high pitched and ultrasonic parts of the crickets songs slowed down and brought into the audible spectrum. Originally these frequencies were mostly between 20 and 40 kHz, well beyond our normal hearing range. 
The result sounds quite unusual, a bit creepy and extraterrestrial but also very cool. It doesn't sound like crickets anymore, more like dinosaurs, I imagine... or a gang of drunk roosters... LOL
