The Nightingale and few Eurasian Coots

Artist:

Notes:

I arrived a bit before 5:00 am at the Étang des Landes: a large pond that is home to some 250 species of birds throughout the year. A nightingale in a bush was already singing. As it wasn’t fierce, I could settle the microphones very close. I couldn’t see it, however, as it was still dark. In the background, among others, a few Eurasian coots called intermittently. This recording ends when the nightingale changes location.
