Recordist's notes

Recording of the birds singing in the forest, on a spring sunday morning. It's not exactly a forest but a small wood in a quite big city, so there's a lot of distant noises : trains, cars, planes. I listed, with french name and english name (perhaps others, but not sure to recognize everybody) : Fauvette à tête noire - Eurasian Blackcap Rouge-gorge - Common robin Merle noir - Common blackbird Pigeon ramier - Common Wood Pigeon Mésange bleue - Eurasian Blue Tit Mésange charbonnière - Great Tit Corneille noire - Carrion Crow Pic vert - European Green Woodpecker Choucas des tours - Western Jackdaw
