Sparrows (1:4 speed)

This is a recording of some sparrows chirping and picking through some dead leaves for peanuts which I had laid out. I have slowed the recording to 1/4 normal speed to lower the pitch of the chirps and make the various flappings and rustlings sound larger and more dramatic.

A bee enters at around 7:45 and a collar dove intrudes at the very end.

Originally recorded using a pair of Sennheiser MKH8040s, originally at 192kHz.

Really cool to hear what they sound like at less annoying frequencies 🦕
