On a recent trip to the small village of Nernier, situated on lake Leman, I woke up at 6 am and headed into the forest to record the dawn chorus.

The main birds that feature are a Wren and a Song Thrush. There is also a Blackcap, and a Goldcrest at times as well as a distant Chaffinch.

Recorded using a stereo pair of DPA 4060 mics into a Sound Devices 722.

Thanks to Harry Hussey at BirdForum.net for help identifying the bird species.
