In these difficult times of confinement, especially hard for city dwellers locked up in a small apartment with no connection to Nature, I thought about how listening to the songs of birds of the forests or the fields soothes me and resources me.
I asked some colleagues at the Lab Acoustic Communications of NEUROPSI at my Paris-Saclay University, in France, to make me a recording of the Nature coming back now that humanity is confined and that it leaves it alone.
Here’s a glimpse of what’s going on out there in the countryside. This file is not intended to be listened to like you would the last hit of Shaka Ponk, it is rather to let it run in loop at home without paying attention. Unconsciously, these background chipchips will progressively appease you.
If you like it, I will ask for more recordings. This first one is from Clément Cornec, registered on March 21st, 2020 and the second one is from Fanny Rybak, recorded on March 25th. You will hear the European robin, the Eurasian nuthatch, the great spotted woodpecker, the common buzzard, the dunnock, the Eurasian blackcap, the Eurasian wren, the song thrush, the carrion crow, the common wood pigeon, the chiffchaff, the chaffinch, the goldcrest, the European green woodpecker, the great tit, the common starling, the Eurasian blue tit, the common blackbird and even, far away, a pheasant…
Then, we have recording made by Pascal Dhuicq, of the Association Sonatura, graciousely sent to me for you: frogs in a pond, insects by a river and waves on cobblestones.
