SOUNDS

In this gallery you can listen to a variety of birds I sound-recorded. I upload all usable recording on xeno-canto. 

Since September 2020 I use a H5 Zoom recorder with a shotgun microphone. Some older recordings I made with an Olympus LS11-recorder and a few with the video-function on my telephone. Click on the bird name to hear the bird. More info and sonogram in the link. Best with headphones!
