small harbor Moerdijk NL 0108 PM 240730_0867

Small village harbor ambiance.

To the rhythm of the waves, boats scour past each other throughout the recording. It is the sound of rubber on steel.
A car door is slammed shut.
Somewhere in the harbor, a small dog barks.
#0:45 A White Wagtail lets its short high-pitched twittering be heard. He is catching insects. The ants are flying out on this hot summer day. So there is plenty to eat.
A woman is laughing and talking to two men.
Another car is turned off and a door of that car is also slammed shut.
#1:15Oh how wonderful for a moment a house sparrow. A sound from my childhood. Unfortunately this little bird is on the red list in the Netherlands. Here in the villages there are fortunately still places where you can hear them.
