Recordist's notes

On a beautiful sunny morning, the Hurtières forest big calm was immediately seductive. This explains why a recorder was left alone, hanged on a beech branch. This quiet recording includes dominant songs of the eurasian blackcap, the short-toed treecreeper and the yellowhammer (tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi-tih-tuh). More discreet are the common chiffchaff, the common chaffinch, the dunnock, the blackbird. Unfortunately, there's also planes, but this place was like that. --------- Par un beau matin ensoleillé, le grand calme de la forêt des Hurtières s'est immédiatement annoncé séduisant. C'est de la sorte qu'un enregistreur a été laissé seul, accroché à la branche d'un hêtre. Cet apaisant témoignage sonore comporte les chants dominants de la fauvette à tête noire, le grimpereau des jardins et le bruant jaune (tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi-tih-tuh). De manière plus discrète, on peut entendre le pouillot véloce, le pinson, l'accenteur mouchet, le merle.
