This is a short edit from a longer recording made between 3 and 5am. From the start, the nightingale is accompanied by booming bitterns and tawny owls. Gradually more songs can be heard as well as activity from geese and other waterfowl.
This late night chorus of frogs and crickets was recorded on wet grassland just outside the commune of Barbezières. The area has a good population of western whip snakes.
