Dawn chorus and sunrise in a Filipino suburb.
I made this recording at about 5:15AM, from the terrace of a house located at Santa Monica Heights, which is a costal residential area near Calapan city (oriental Mindoro, Philippines).
One can hear the atmosphere of this place during sunrise, with some crickets, dawn chorus from local birds that I don’t know, roosters and dogs barking in the distance, as well as some distant fishermen’s motorboats and traffic hum. At about #6:00, the cicadas slowly start to make some noise, and at #10:20, the bell from the nearby church starts ringing.
Recorded in July 2025 with a Zoom H6essential (built-in XY microphones).
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.
