Eurasian Nutcracker

Dawn chorus with Woodcock

I recorded this Black Redstart early on Easter Sunday morning, as well as a Black Bird there´s also a nice Tawny Owl singing along too. I used a Schoeps Parabolic Microphone System.

Black Redstart / Hausrotschwanz

Recorded in May 2025. A SASS recording of marsh frogs. I asked an owner who had some houses to rent right next to this pond if I could place the mic on their property to record these frogs for the night. They kindly said yes, there was also a lot of signs of beaver activity around.
I searched the whole area in an attempt to get close to the frogs and really this was the best spot. 
It was a busy road and constantly noisy during the day, but overnight luckily fell silent. 
There was a lot of bird species around including Orioles and Wrynecks during the day. I really enjoy finding little oasis of nature sound like this in busy locations.

Savi's Warbler, motorcycle and marsh frogs

I performed a comparison between the 3.5mm Plug-In Power and 48V XLR Phantom inputs of the MicTrak ZOOM M4 recorder.
The first part was with two 3.5mm Plug-In Power shots; the second part was with two 48V XLR shots.
I used two PUI AOM5024 capsules simultaneously on both channels.
The file was normalized to 0.1 dB.
Downloadable file..

A sound of insects beneath a Poplar Tree, some stridulation and sound of distant crickets also picked up by the mic.
