Brandenburg thunderstorm

September 2019 Normally I do not deploy autonomous recording units, except for scientific monitoring. Why? For me, the best part of sound recording is listening during the recording process (actually, of course, a recording would not have to be done at all to do so).

In addition to the bizarre beauty of these impressive landscapes, you will find views into the a small window of geological history,… Continue reading Profen II

PFR13073, 26/05/2017, Wood Warbler Phylloscopus sibilatrix, song, Brandenburg, Germany Unfortunately that area is close to Berlin thus air traffic… Continue reading Brandenburg
