A quintessential sublimity sounds out here... I would agree with Hank that "This is the best music...", except that I cannot hear this as 'music',  because it is the real and actual sounding out of a rich and complex Lifeworld, it is the sound of healthy Life itself, and that is not 'music', it is the deep, fertile mother-soil of all humanity, and what humans conceive of as 'music' is an abstraction, an abstract reflection, of the sounding-out of such Lifeworlds. All musical beauty and emotion owes its content, its depth, its life and richness, to these primordial depths of experience. These are what have made us 'human': biologically, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Our human 'music' is just our way of articulating and celebrating this truth. Personally, I confess that I really do prefer the 'original soil', the 'original forest'. Here, you've shared a moving example of one of its infinitely variable soundings. (I would love to hear this with time expanded...)

This is an extremely good recording.  It would be nice to see it on Bandcamp so I can buy it.  Such a pity I couldn't make it over to Estonia this year.

Are these also cuckoo vocalisations after the main cuckoo calls? 

You are transporting me back to spring. Beautiful work! 

One slightly older recording which I recorded during the first lockdown in the spring of 2020. Forest with thrushes and cuckoos in the foreground, ural owl and bittern in the background
