I was out to make a drop-recording of kingfishers when I accidentally placed the microphones less than 1 m from a beaver hut (small). I was lucky to finally record the whimper and moaning of a young beaver sucking milk, and when a dog is barking in the distance the beaver farts! Uppsala. May 14, 2023.
