about

The soundscape was recorded on May 14, 2020. Recording starts a few minutes before 6 a.m. Birds clearly distinguishable are Song Thrush, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Willow Warbler, Common Chaffinch, Wood Pigeon, Bumblebee(not a bird though). Black grouse can be heard in the background in the first half and Cuckoo in the second half of the recording. More careful listening Wood warbler, Great Tit, Green Sandpiper, Goldcrest, Eurasian Siskin, Great Grey Owl and others are heard. At different moments of the recording, it is heard how male Grey-headed woodpecker builds a nest inside the trunk of a large Aspen. Such a gentle singing constant tapping. For example, at the 4th, 31th minute and beyond it can be heard. I noticed that the bird is inside a tree and comes out from time to time to mate with his partner and scare away the Great spotted woodpecker feeding nearby.

Soundscape is recorded as 24 bit but due to the 600mb file size limit on Bandcamp I uploaded this file in cd quality which is 16 bit

Equipment:
Tascam Dr-100 MK III digital recorder
An Azden microphone pre-amplifier/mixer
Handmade phantom powered Primo Microphones with EM172 capsules. 24 bit 48kHz
