A binaural recording of marcescent oak leaves, dead but still on the branches, rustling in the breeze.

Unlike other deciduous trees, for reasons not fully understood, young oaks, along with beech and hornbeam, retain their dead leaves through winter, a characteristic known as marcescence.

Recorded 27 January 2021 at Horsetail Ponds, Walltown, Northumberland, UK.
