Recordist's notes

During the winter period, waterfowl were hungry. Intrigued by their presence in large numbers on the waters of the Lake Le Rondeau, near the Rambouillet castle, I recorded their songs for an uninterrupted hour. Since they were hungry, they solicited all the walkers. We hear them a lot. The recording is quiet on this new year day and really provokes the sound of a lullaby. We can hear : Mallard duck, Canada goose, Eurasian Coot, Domestic goose, Blackhead gull, Homo sapiens.
