Recordist's notes
Morning recording of a pond without name near the Beclines street. It's a peaceful place, because it's almost abandoned. Some years ago, a Corbais real estate developer had the idea to build a lake city. It was rejected and since, it's an abandoned place. It's quite wild, there's trees fallen in the pond. Listen to all the friends the birds, I listed (at least), with french name and english name : Rouge-gorge - Common robin Merle noir - Common blackbird Poule d'eau - Common moorhen Pouillot véloce - Common chiffchaff Tourterelle turque - Eurasian Collared Dove Pigeon ramier - Common Wood Pigeon Choucas des tours - Western Jackdaw Troglodyte mignon - Eurasian Wren Mésange bleue - Eurasian Blue Tit Mésange charbonnière - Great Tit Corneille noire - Carrion Crow Pie bavarde - Eurasian Magpie (shortly 45:23) Canard colvert - Mallard Très loin - vache, coq. Plus près : chien, homo sapiens, trains, avions pénibles. Far - cow, rooster. Closer : dog, homo sapiens, trains, painful planes.
