Recorded with Zoom F3 + Superlux S502, edited in Ableton Live 10. A compilation of few recordings, with one additional layer running throughout the entire piece. It’s my first one, so go easy on me!

Hungover Stroll Through Świerklaniec Park (Sober Me, Not-So-Sober Cousin)

The Raven has many wonderful calls but this one I don't hear very often and it is the first time I have been able to record it.

Lost at sea

Dusk at the Heronry - Waterbeach Lake. Easter 2025.  The unique sound of herons 'quacking'.  I understand this to be the 'begging call' of young herons at the nest.  Some distance away - I didn't want to get too close and disturb these birds.  I was setting up an overnight recording rig to capture the following morning's dawn chorus.  "Pammy' the binaural dummy head with a pair of MKH8020 mics to a SD MixPre-6. 24/48kHz.

Highlights from a Capercaillie lek with closeup recording of all parts of the male display including infrasound parts as the flutterjumps and the "buzz" (28 Hz).

I put out a droprig close to a nest of a Grey-headed Woodpecker in an aspen close to a small brook. In this recording you can discern a drumming Grey-headed Woodpecker and later on a dusk-singing Blackbird and Robin. And after sunset you will hear two wolves howl in the distance and in the final minutes a calling Great Grey Owl.

ASMR - small brook at dusk with wolves in the distance

This howl took me by surprise. The wolf call I have heard before is when the parents call to their young in August to September. Often the young wolves join the choir in September. This is obviously quite another call. Discussed it with several colleagues knowledgeable about wolves and we came to the conclusion that this is most likely an 'alpha male' doing this to let other packs or wolves in local territory to stay away. This is the time they are having their pups and if they have young nearby the parents are likely on high alert!

De zomereik (Quercus robur) herbergt meer dan 400 soorten organismen waaronder veel insekten. Al onze inheemse soorten vleermuizen zijn insekteneters en weten de zomereik goed te vinden. Hier hoor je een paar dozijn bosvleermuizen (Nyctalus leisleri) jagen rond twee grote zomereiken op een windstille zomeravond. Af en toe landen ze op een blad, vermoedelijk om iets te pakken, en daarna gelijk weer verder te vliegen.

The common oak (Quercus robur) is home to over 400 organisms, including many insects. All our native bat species are insectivores and know how to find the common oak. Here you can hear a few dozen Leisler’s bats (Nyctalus leisleri) hunting around two large common oaks on a windless summer evening. Every now and then they land on a leaf, presumably to grab something, and then fly on again.
