Into the old-growth forest – spring advancing, woodpeckers and Raven come alive by Lars Edenius published on 2018-04-08T15:18:06Z 8 April 2018 A long, cold and snowy winter is finally coming to an end. Just after dawn during a nocturnal unattended sound recording in an old forest. Black grouse is on the leks, and the voices of overflying Whooper swans can be heard. Chaffinches are migrating, and the local Willow tits have begun singing. Black and Great Spotted woodpeckers are drumming, but Ravens steal she show acoustically. Feels good to be alive. Umeå commune, Västerbotten County (63.56 N, 20.20 E) SD MixPre-3 with stereo-matched Sennheiser MKH8020s attached to a tree trunk. Amplified 6 dB, 100 Hz low cut filter in post.
