Marsh Tit quick song

A favourite bird of mine - the Marsh Tit. Its numbers have gone down quite dramatically in Sweden since 1990 but it is still a rather common bird in the right habitat.

2025.09.13 Golden Whistler. Ngarkat Dawn. Early Spring.

A wide and deep, gently rhythmically hypnotic, mallee heathland dawn, from an evening to morning recording made with a mid-side rig utilising an omnidirectional mid microphone. (Relaxed listening with good quality headphones with flat frequency response, especially open-backed, at a moderate volume, is ideal.)

Recorded respectfully on the land of the Ngargad (Ngarket) people.

Track photo: taken at the recording location, in Ngarkat Conservation Park, on the second morning of recording.

2025.09.13 Ngarkat Dawn. Early Spring.

I was in Estonia recently to check-out Matsalu National park to learn as much as I could about it before maybe returning in May to record.  It was the wrong time of year to record birds, however back in the city I recorded some street sounds on my last evening.  Equipment; A Sound Devices MixPre3 recorder and a matched pair of Primo microphones.  Recording 4476.
