Early Corona Sunday morning Dawn chorus(If download then 3:37:30 h).

It's a strange time. The Dutch government decided that we have to stay inside until 4.30 am due to the Lockdown. After all, we are in the middle of the corona pandemic. Nature does not know about this human problem. The birds sing happily, one and a half hours before sunrise. Especially robins, tits and blackbirds can be heard nearby. The cheeky Jackdaws are screaming everywhere in between and the coot and rooster in the distance are awake a little later. They are all shouting: SPRING IS COMING! SPRING IS COMING!

The first people walk their dogs. Calling the animals is careful not to wake anyone up. Traffic on the highway is muted because the wind comes from the north-east.

Suburban traffic is starting very slowly. After all, where should you go? If you want to go somewhere, nothing is open today anyway. It doesn't matter to me; During this morning sound recording I am enjoying the sunrise while walking. Along the way, a man is quietly fishing on the water's edge. He is dressed warmly.

Nearby is a domestic container port. During the day you don't hear it, but now in this silence you hear the thump of containers being dropped or towed.

The sun rises at 7:40AM. Recording stops after the far church bells call for Holy Mass. It is 9:51 AM than.
Nice to hear the city slowly waking up.
