Took out the kayak during midnight close to Örsundsbro, Uppland. A really good place for night-active birds. This recording only focuses on the Locustella genus. Perhaps not the best of singers but nice comparison to have them side by side like this. 0-60 seconds: Savi's, 60-150 seconds: grashopper, 150- : river warbler. June 16, 2023.

Locustella galore!

Recorded under cliffs in Alps - no wind was that night so there was almost complete silence . 
Owls and later falling rocks from cliffs which was maybe trigger by some animal walking high above microphones.
