Within the very rich sounds of the song thrush you can hear sounds that are very close to other birds. Here is an example of a song thrush imitating a bee-eater for a short lapse of time.

Song Thrush doing Bee-eater Imitation

5 minutes from my bedroom, a small ortf setup pointing towards starlings and jackdaws about 200 m away. some nice fly-overs but the bedroom window doesn't allow a wide stereo image...

Cardet 5 Min 26 oct 2022

My first recording of this Cettia cetti here in Cardet. Very loud despite the distance.

Cettia cetti - Cetti's Zanger

A clip from a recent drop, 26/10/2022 rig where some old trees on the ground seemed to attract an animal, picking in it. I think it is a Garrulus Glandarius. I haven't heard sounds from them that close before in my recordings. Also worth mentioning the Cetti's Warbler (Cettia cetti), far away but loud enough !
Enjoy listening

Garrulus Glandarius Close - Up

This Haiku mix consists of several field recordings made from a resonating old iron bridge in the wind and falling melting snow in the morning sunlight.
Both these sources gave me this feeling of heavenly energy; both snow and wind being observed in the sky.

Heavely Ascent - naviarhaiku480

This is the first time I recorded a dawn chorus with owls in it! 
Around 6am both morning and night birds seemed to sync up.
Three species from the Turdidae family, and of course the Tawny owl. Many other birds are present too, and also some background noise from the wind and the road not too far away, here in the south of France.
Enjoy listening.

Dawn Chorus Birds Owls Cardet 17/03/2023

A dawn chorus next to a little pond where life follows its own rhythm. Ducks, frogs, birds and small mammals come and go. 
Luckily no airplanes during this time.
The microphones were very close to the water so there is a difference in volume between ducks, frogs, and on the other side the bird songs, although at times birds come very close to the microphones.
Enjoy listening.

Dawn Chorus Champetre, Cardet

In the evening there was some rain but also an eagle owl not that far away. What a nice scene to capture while being absent physically. Next time I'll be staying a little with zoom camera.
Picture from wiki.

Eagle Owl In Rain, Woods near Lezan

A short recording with some local frogs during the evening, 25th of april 2023.

Frogs Evening 25/04/2023 South of France

A small clip from a cuckoo calling with 3 notes. Normally they use 2 notes as their main interval. I heard it several times that day.
Lezan, Gard, France mai 2023.

BIRD 3 Note Cuckoo

This track is based quite literally on the text from the haiku... I used a dawn chorus recording I made earlier this year during springtime and gave it 4 stems in the partition. The top is the normal recording, then after a little time the 2nd stem comes in, with the same birds song pitched down. Then follow stems 3 and 4 later on, each more pitched down to complete treble, alto, tenor and bass. 
What originally sounded like a crisp dawn chorus here in the woods, slowly sounds like a deep Jurassic jungle...
