The Raven has many wonderful calls but this one I don't hear very often and it is the first time I have been able to record it.

Lapwing often calls at night with a very distinctive call and the wings make these buzzing sounds while displaying.

Lapwing displaying

In 2025 I have visited four breeding sites where males were calling early in the year but there had been no signs of breeding later in the Spring. This was until yesterday when I stumbled upon a breeding pair. In this recording you can first hear begging calls of the female and later on what I gather is the female song (more the tone of a Wood Pigeon than in the male).

Lapland Owl breeding in Uppland also this year!

Recorded on a tranquil night on the edge of the Lac de Madine in France, this soundscape captures the deep reverberant calls of a Eurasian Bittern booming. As one of Europe's most endangered bird species, with fewer than 100 breeding pairs remaining in France, this recording offers a rare glimpse into the nocturnal world of these elusive creatures.

One of my favourite sounds is that of the fire-bellied toad. In this recording you will hear the toads from 8 PM to midnight with a background of tree frogs and tawny owl.

Frogs & Owls

In the silence of the night, the bubo bubo releases its voice into the valley with all its majesty; its depth rivals that of the night itself.
