1 Intro November

In the beautiful Siebentischwald on the outskirts of the city of Augsburg, I took these tawny brown owl babies at the end of May 2021. In the background you can hear the nightingale and of course everywhere the distinctive call of the parent brown owls. The recording was made at midnight...

a poem written and spoken by Eva-Catrin Reinhardt music background by Alexander Pappas,special for this poem

when I was young
I had so many dreams

and now I hope
the best of it will become true

when I was young
came so much in between

and now I hope
and now I'll stay

and always the same
are root and wings

with the view to the tomorrow

Als ich jung war

Als ich jung war
hatte ich so viele Träume

und nun hoffe ich
der Beste davon wird doch noch wahr

als ich jung war 
da kam so viel dazwischen

und nun hoffe ich
und nun bleibe ich

immer noch da
und immer noch dieselben

sind Wurzel und Flügel
mit Blick auf das Morgen

als ich jung war
da hatte ich so viele Träume

Als ich jung war - music - Alex Pappas - poem and voice Eva-Catrin Reinhardt

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

El conjunto del canto de ranas del Zarzal o trepadoras (Hypsiboas pulchellus) genera una obra sonora natural, acompañada de grillos y el sonido del mar.
En su etapa de reproducción su llamado es muy sonoro, metálico y musical, producido por la rápida vibración de las cuerdas vocales que se amplifican por el saco vocal.

//ENG
The singing of the Zarzal frogs or climbers (Hypsiboas pulchellus) generates a natural sound work, accompanied by crickets and the sound of the sea.
In its reproduction stage, its call is very loud, metallic and musical, produced by the rapid vibration of the vocal cords that are amplified by the vocal sac.

Concierto de Ranas del Zarzal

Recording 22nd of June 2023.  Got out of bed at 1.54am, left for Rosahane graveyard at 2.54am, arrived there at 3.44am.  Began setting up.  Had the 30 meters of cable and mics set up so I could sit in the car and relax while recording.  I found that I had left the sled from the MixPre recorder at home, I had the recorder and the block battery but couldn’t connect the two, I don’t usually forget things when recording, this was one of those rare times, happily I had the Tascam Dr100 recorder, I had intended to have this somewhere nearby getting more material, but now it would have to be the primary recorder.  The morning had a different feel to it compared to two mornings before, the sky was clearer and it was perhaps a bit cooler and not flat calm.  Usually the Robin begins the morning with his clear strong singing, he can really dominate sometimes, this morning though I only heard some ticking calls (before I left).  The Wren and Blackcap began to sing earlier than they usually would, the Chaffinch sang strongly too.  The results from the work two mornings before showed an odd lot of lines down below a thousand hertz, don’t think I have seen that before, now I think I know what it is, at this time of year we get many flies in the trees all buzzing about, it is at a low level and easily missed but microphones pick it up.  Glad it is that and not some odd man-made noise.   I only heard the sheep occasionally, but I heard a Great Tit in song, I wished he would move closer to the mics, but he didn’t.  A Squirrel could be heard sometimes.  The other morning he climbed down the tree next to the mics jumped onto the ground and ran off, I didn’t put that one on Soundcloud, considered it a bit short.   Most memorable of all was when two Chaffinches, a male and female flew down to the top of the gate post and done their courtship ritual, the male fluttered about the female in what looked to me to be a most sweet and affectionate way, they didn’t stay there long, think a jet flew over, a nuisance, but at least a chance, if needed, to make adjustments to the position of the mics.    
Left for home at 5.43am, stopped by the field where the sheep were, perhaps they had moved down the other end as I couldn’t see them.  Home at 6.35am.  Recording 4063.  The picture shows all that is left of a church that used to be there in the distant past.

Two Thrush Nightingales in song.  Recorded at night beginning at 2.05am on the 20th of May 2013, in Soomaa National Park, Estonia.  This is the third of three recordings.  Some months ago I uploaded this same recording but a shorter version in 44khz/16bit, this recording is the full-length 48Khz/24Bit version.  Equipment; A matched pair of Sennheiser MKH8020 microphones, a Sound Devices MixPre microphone pre-amp and a Marantz PMD661 solid state recorder.
Recording 2502.

2 Thrush Nightingales - The 48khz/24Bit version

Track 1 of 27.
Dawn Chorus, beginning at 4.29am on the 1st of May 2017.  Duration 9m15.  Recorded in Pille’s field near to the picnic area and toilets.  A cold morning (-2°C) but perfectly calm.  Very few species present, yet there is something very attractive about this sound, somewhat melancholy, a feeling of bare boards,  yet so beautiful.   At 2m24 a Great Tit begins to sing and keeps singing till 7m24.  There was frost on the tripod by the time I got back to the house.
Species present; Blackbird, Redwing, Robin, Great Tit, Common Crane and some distant Black Grouse.    
Recording 2951.
These recordings have been arranged to fit nicely onto three Cds, the f.l.a.c format files have been named beginning with the track number, then the ‘A’ ‘B’ or ‘C’ is to show which CD they belong to. . . 1,2, or 3.  If you are making a CD copy, the f.l.a.c. files will need to be converted from 48Khz / 24 Bit to 44Khz / 16 Bit wav’s as a lot of CD burning software will not recognise f.l.a.c. format.  
If you have the equipment to play the 48/24 - f.l.a.c. files you will be getting the full quality as this is the same sample and bit rate the originals were made at.  
	In some recordings you will hear what sounds like distant Geese or Swans calling and flapping vigorously.  But having consulted my sound guides I do not feel confident enough to name them, 
that is why they are not in the species list.
	All recordings were made in the Alam Pedja reserve Estonia, in areas in or south of Palupohja during May 2017.  In nearly every case the recordings follow the order in which they were made.  So this production follows the journey of my time in Alam Pedja. 
	I tend not to remember the exact weather conditions as I am usually too focused on recording. Provided it is not windy, then the details about the weather conditions do not get recorded in my blog.  
It is a great privilege to be in a position to take a full month off and devote it to my hobby/passion.  The material I recorded is so different to what I got the previous year even though most of the places I recorded in where the same, for instance I didn’t hear any powerful dawn choruses as I did in 2016.  I discovered a few new places in the reserve, this gave me new opportunities for recording.  Noticeable too was the places where the main sound activity had moved around, for instance the river bank near the nature school during the 2016 trip was a hive of activity, in 2017 there was hardly a sound to be heard there during the night, but I found later in the trip that a similar soundscape I had heard in 2016 could still be recorded but had simply moved down river a few hundred meters.  
	Most recordings were made with a matched pair of Sennheiser MKH 8020 radio frequency microphones, a Sound Devices ‘MixPre’ microphone pre-amplifier and a Marantz PMD661 solid state recorder, set to 48Khz / 24 Bit.  For a few recordings I used a Rode NT-4 Stereo microphone (Disc 2 - track 9) and sometimes a pair of Rode NT2A’s (Disc 2 - track 3).  
On this trip I was so glad to meet up with a fellow wildlife recordist  - Ivar Vinkel, Patrick Mc Guinley (he is the guy behind Framework radio), Veljo Runnel and Andrus Kannel.
My thanks to Veljo Runnel for naming the Spider.  
	I also had the interesting experience of having an online article written about me.   Jacob’s (Robert’s son) friend Triin wrote the piece.   
	Fellow recordist Andrus Kannel gave me a lift out to Alam Pedja.   Great to get back to the Nature School in Palupohja, Robert met me at the door, it was like coming home.  Happily I got to use the old room I was in the spring before and not only that, but a bed had been got, so no-more sleeping on the floor, there was even candles lighting in the room, (wonder did he see me coming and light them ?).  The old shelves I had erected were still there.  They had got in a washing machine and also fairly high-speed internet broadband.
