La Palud-sur-Verdon, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France

A recording made in early June beside a cabin in the woods, a few kilometres from La Palud-sur-Verdon in Provence, France.

I was struck by the amount of birdsong close by and the lack of noise pollution from traffic and humans.

Recorded using a pair of Sennheiser MKH8040s in ORTF arrangement.

Will loop smoothly.
