The water level is very high after a long and snow-rich winter. The photo does not show a lake but crop fields under water. Perfect for Whooper Swans and Bean Geese to feed on during their northward journey through Sweden. Also a few White-fronted Geese and perhaps a Bewick's Swan can be heard in the recording. The "dabbling" sound in the foreground is from feeding swans.

Nothing special about this recording other than it is a successful documentation of Great Grey Owl close to where I live! Aspen leaves are quaking in the wind, and the begging call of the youngster is not that strong (even less so than the considerably smaller Tawny Owl).

A mono recording with Wildtronics parabolic dish of a closeup corncrake. What surprised me the most was the wheezing call (1000-2200 Hz) in between the "crex-crex". Most often this call was heard just prior to the song. Not sure if the male prepared itself for the energetic calls. Does anyone know?

Wheezing calls of a Corncrake!

This recording captures the spring dawn chorus in a patch of woodland in the Loir-et Cher department of France.

Not much else to listen to or record this time of year when all birds are busy raising young, but the Quails are still going strong. This mono recording is from midnight today.

The Quail song

Fragment of a bad dream...
That turned out to be reality...

"The future of capitalism.
L'avenir du capitalisme.
Το μέλλον του καπιταλισμού.
Die Zukunft des Kapitalismus.
El futuro del capitalismo.
पूंजीवाद का भविष्य.
Будущее капитализма.
资本主义的未来.
資本主義の未来.
자본주의의 미래.
.مستقبل الرأسمالية
Masa Depan Kapitalisme.

You (and all the rest) are all... 
nothing but...
capitalism."

I make field recordings focusing on nature in my home county Uppland, Sweden, and especially within biking distance from home.
