Subject : A nice short soundscape of a rural area. An owl, cricket, birds, tractor.
Date : 2024 05 24 Around 19h20
Location : Bouriège Aude France,
Notes thanks to Klankbeeld using Merlin Bird ID app : the bird that sounds like an owl in the background is an Eurasian Collared Dove.

The loud cricket sound you did hear is from a bird called the Common Grasshopper Warbler.

The sound of the old squeaking bicycle pump comes from a bird called Great Tit

Hardware : Zoom Hn2 in "ambisonic" mode. Used a "deadcat" like wind muffler. (not the foam thing)
Processing : Trim, denoise, EQ, normalization on Audacity exported in either stereo or mono.
Tips : A wav extract from this long recording https://freesound.org/people/Sadiquecat/sounds/737180/

Attribution is greatly appreciated but not required. Recommendation : X sound by Sadiquecat on Freesound.org

Hope you enjoy :)
PS: Id love to hear how you use this sound, feel free to link your creations or share how/why you listen to this :)

When you use the Merlin Bird ID app outdoors making a walk is much more fun.
The birds are then recognized in real time and a photo of the bird is immediately available on your smartphone.
