River Maas March 8am Sunday 180408_1259.flac

Ambiance of a river on Sunday morning in March.

Here, along this river the Maas, on a Sunday morning it is quiet. But, when you put your headphones on you hear many details.
A sheep and a great spotted woodpecker indicating its territory. The dog and the roosters are also heard. Trains rush along the steel bridge to the city. Church bells in the surrounding villages, one later than the others, indicate the right time. Cows want to be milked. Even a bumblebee around. Crows and rooks always scratch here. The first traffic. Geese argue about a female.
The first motorcyclist enjoys the view from the dike Dutch river dike. Later on, beautiful sound recordings will no longer be possible. After all, it is the first warm spring day and they will be flocking around in a couple of hours. The oystercatchers are twittering. They, like me, also have spring in mind. After 15 minutes and 40 seconds you hear how their singing starts slowly.

Although you can not be here now, close your eyes and enjoy. That is what my distant family also regularly does.
