Swamp field Dec NL 161206_1057.flac

Ambient recording of the swamp ‘Moerputten’, close to city ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.

The first geese come back to the from there feeding grounds somewhere else. Here the will spend the night later. recording in the swamp is not possible. I’m standing at the edge of the area. It is impermeable. There are small ditches, reeds and bushes. Now, in December, there are not many birds. Most small ones. And the geese flying over in large numbers. Especially in the last part (after 34 minutes) of the recording. Sometimes they fly right above me. That's why I wear a hat. The small birds that you hear stay in the reeds and bushes around. Twice interested people come to socialize (15m from mic). One asked me what kind of birds that is. I am a romantic and not a birdwatcher, so I have no answer. Nice the electric trains in the distance. Far in the distance the hum of the city and the traffic there is audible. I love the humming here and hope you like it to.

Location description;
In front the bushes of a swamp, with an old railway-embankment. Behind the embankment a polder and highway and than the city on 1km.
Left the village Vlijmen on 1km.
Right a railway on 2km.
Behind me the large ‘Gement’ polder 10x3 km with her local farm roads with almost no traffic. Just some workman with an excavator 500m away. The are creating a dam for high waters caused by inundation.

REMARK; it was very quiet here so this recording should be played at a low volume to be realistic.
