Early morning by the Hardangerfjord in Norway

Artist:

Truls Nord

Hatlestrand, Norway

Notes:

This recording was made in July 2025 from 5 am to 5.30 am.
The tide was high and in the beginning of the recording waves are coming in.
The michrophone (PCM-100, xy-setup) was directed towards the fjord.
Behind the mic a stream is coming down from the mountains to the beach.
There are some splashes in the water from birds flapping and fish jumping, and bells from sheep.

According to the Merlin app the following bird are heard:
Graylag Goose, Great Tit, Common Chiffchaff, Common Chaffinch, White Wigtail, Common Gull, Hooded Crow, European Robin, Gray Heron, Eurasian Wren, Eurasian Blackbird.

Merlin also identified Eurasian Blackcap, Marsh Tit, Song Thrush and Eurasian Goshawk, but I’m not sure if that is right…
