what a beautiful and melodious dawn chorus. I love it. Thanks for sharing

Australia has the best alarmclocks. Spent some time in Brissy Nat Pk

8 April 2018

A long, cold and snowy winter is finally coming to an end. Just after dawn during a nocturnal unattended sound recording in an old forest. Black grouse is on the leks, and the voices of overflying Whooper swans can be heard. Chaffinches are migrating, and the local Willow tits have begun singing. Black and Great Spotted woodpeckers are drumming, but Ravens steal she show acoustically. Feels good to be alive.

Umeå commune, Västerbotten County (63.56 N, 20.20 E)

SD MixPre-3 with stereo-matched Sennheiser MKH8020s attached to a tree trunk. Amplified 6 dB, 100 Hz low cut filter in post.

Into the old-growth forest – spring advancing, woodpeckers and Raven come alive

Short excerpts from a recording of fruit bats feeding on the flowers of suburban River Gums, with pitch dropped down one octave and time expanded 200 per cent. No post-processing on the original excerpts, nor after time and pitch shift. Recorded around 01:00, just after rain, in Autumn. (Best listened to with good quality headphones with a flat frequency response.)

Sound of the rain recorded at Loch Achilty, Highland.  3 October, 2020.

Two MKH8040 mics in ORTF were positioned under a rain shield, facing an arm of the loch and some broad-leafed trees.

From an over night recording with a blizzard (with gale force gusts) inside a fisherman's hut in the midnight by Makholma shore. In the first minute there's Whooper Swans shouting far in the background. Next day   most of them was gone. In the morning the microphones where covered with snow, as there was some gap under the roof.

Winter Night - 11/1/2021 - Inside a Fisherman's Hut

This is a compilation from an over night recording in Kirpakka woods with 15 small cracks in chronological order and as last a bigger bang from one long recording earlier in february.

I had the microphones out in Kirpakka small preservation area over night (from sunset to midday) during the coldest days when temp went down to -20C.  There was practically no sign of life except some road noise and machines from a nearby farm.  Daytime there were a few Crows and two Ravens, one Great Spotted Woodpecker and in early night the distant call of a Tengman's Owl.  

One recording of 18 hours earlier didn't result in any sound of life except a very weak Crow at 11 am. and the big crack in the end of this recording.

There seems to be a great loss of tits and crossbills in Finnish forests today.

But the trees were keeping a good amount of cracks and pops, specially in the early night when the temperature change was as fastest.
