Last weekend I went to one of the
nearby lakes to watch the sunrise and record the dawn chorus.
Location: https://goo.gl/maps/QikNCHoQhRM2.
This lake is essentially a flooded field and is great for
bird-watching. The county (kommunen) has build bird-watching towers
around the lake for easy access. This is not without problems since
it is very popular place, and the sound pollution from both people and
traffic can be large. However to record the dawn chorus on a Saturday
is a good way to eliminate some of the sound pollution since not many
people are a wake at 05:00 in the morning.
So I went to highest location at the
lake, which is a cliff called Rödberget (loosely translated to Red
Mountain) located at the south of the lake. At this location one gets
a very nice overview of the entire lake. I did the same thing last
year, however with less good results.

Link to last years recording:
This year I brought my trusty PCM-D100 and my ORTF stereo set-up a matched pair of RODE NT5:s connected to an H6. I placed the ORFT set-up at a fixed point at the edge of the cliff to get a nice stereo-image of the lake and placed the D100 at different locations throughout my visit. Did the recordings in HD, 96 kHz, 24 bit.
When listening back at the recordings I
always get amazed about how much communication there is between
animals which one misses when not paying attention and not activity
listening.
So here are the recordings I made, I
hope you enjoy listening to the as mush as I do and enjoyed
recording them.
Best regards,
Dan
