A little respect

After a long winter, my local patch is slowly filling up with birds returning from wintering grounds.With their return, the place also fills with sound. One species that stands out visually and acousticallyis the Bluethroat Luscinia svecica.While wildlife photographers bother the males for their striking appearance, the wildife soundrecordist can listen and record the countless… Continue reading A little respect

March 2017 In February I made a brief intermediate stop at my favorite sound recording spot in Germany, on my way to an offshore trip. I had expected lots of wintering nordic geese, Whooper Swans Cygnus cygnus and hoped for Bewick’s Swans Cygnus bewickii which flight calls we desperately needed for our birds-in-flight ID guide. Here only a few impressions of those days in the field.… Continue reading Drömling VIII – Winter
