calm forest April NL Kampina 03 200401_0141.wav

Daytime ambiance of mixed forest with pine and birch trees in April.

The great tit sings wonderfully. The great spotted woodpecker is hammering his terretory and looking for beautiful women. The wood pigeon sings. It is quiet in this somewhat too quiet coronavirus forest. The ticking, crackling sound comes from the pinecone that shoots its seeds. The sun and the dry air warms the pinecones, causing them to dry. As a result, they open with a tap.

REMARK
Because the coronavirus almost everyone stays at home. That's why I went to my favourite forest to make unique audio recordings. I've never heard it so quiet during the day. Even the farmers in the area let their machines stop for a moment and hold their breath to enjoy.
Enjoy this recording and remember all corona dead for a moment.
