Dawn in the Countryside with Cows, Birds and More

Artist:

Sébastien Naudet

Saint-Pierre-Laval, France

Notes:

A little valley in the Bourbonnaise Mountain – Monts de la Madeleine massif.

The microphone is near a pond surrounded by a little wood and a meadow with a big stream at the bottom of the valley; and in the meadow a band of salers cows .

It’s a cold dawn, around 5 am, cows are sleeping, a fox passes, frogs wake up and here are the birds :
Robin, tawny owl, blue tit, black bird, song thrush, great tit, gadwall, blackcap, wren, chaffinch, chiffchaff, house sparrow, wood pigeon, cuckoo, gray wagtail, goldfinch, collared-dove, nuthatch, merganser, yellow hammer, mistle thrush and more (thanks to merlin bird id app)

A little later, the cows wake up quietly and start to graze around the bushy pond

The valley has a lovely sound with a natural reverb highlighting the birdsong
