October 2014 … is not refering to commercial bird sound records, but to autumn. Autumn isn’t just when I was born, what obviously made this season to something special to me, it is the time of several major events in nature: bird migration to the wintering grounds, Red Deer rut, vocal activities by owls and… Continue reading Just can’t get enough

Vessel tracks II
November 2012 I’ve never understood what people makes enthusiastic with patriotism.

On the whole island were only a few songbirds, a pair of Northern Raven Corvus corax made display flights, a straying flock of Hooded Crows… Continue reading Greifwalder Oie II
