Lock him up. Throw away the key.
So a nightingale unexpectedly landed on your balcony, an event so uncommon that youâve specified only that it happened this year, and you whipped your recording equipment out, and recorded its birdsong for 6 hours?
Didnât you have anything else to do that day?
Isnât that a long time for a nightingale to just sit there chirping?

it looks like a police inquiry!
I will be honest =)
my home is recording studio located in the woodland.
nightingales sing here for several weeks every year.
this season, a pair nests very closely.
he usually sings all night without a break.
i even played guitar with him for a few nights =)
he followed modulations!
i took a microphone pair out of the studio, tuned it and went to bed.
so, i have abt 6 hours of his song.
quality of the record is unique, you will not find the same in YT or in bird voices databases.

i was going to record bees for a long time
it was not an easy task
now i donât think that bees are such hard workers as it described in fairy tales
a plum bush blossomed near the studio
i waited for bees one week connecting daily 100m of cables
but they appeared only once and buzzed just two hours
the wind hindered recordings
so there is only 10 minutes but it is excellent
this record is quieter than my other soundscapes
but I did not raise the volume to an unnatural level
bees are very quiet creatures

This review contains a transcript of the sounds of one overnight recording session featuring bird songs, cricket choirs, wind blowing, and other sounds of nature.
These soundscapes were recorded during spring in the depths of a mixed forest where a set of microphones captured a stereo panorama. The captured soundscapes are that of a meadow with a diameter of about 100 meters that produces a multi-level echo and deep reverb.
The nature concert opens with a nightingale recorded around midnight who tirelessly varies its song for an hour until it was frightened off by a creature who made a distinct rustle of foliage not far from the bird. The nightingale sings from the bush located on the left while the recording is balanced by the choirs of crickets audible, for the most part, in the right channel. In the center of the stereo panorama, you can clearly hear the wind sir the crowns of tall trees and then gradually subside towards the end of the track. In the background, another nightingale can sometimes be heard singing far in the depths of the forest.
Nightingale song accompanied by wind, crickets, and woodland sounds:
As you can hear, the soundscape is very much reminiscent of a musical performance since both the nightingale and the cricket choirs are tuned to a general tonic which in certain fragments of the recording is very close to the note E.
After some time, the nightingale resumes its chanting, now having settled in the depths of the meadow. The birdâs volume decreased due to the distance from the microphone but now it sings closer to the far edge of the forest meadow and the reverb has become deeper and more distinct. In the second part of the recording, the bird bustle increases to proclaim the dawn of a new day.
Nightingale song in the predawn hours gives way to various bird calls and morning bustle:
On the left channel of the next soundscape, you can hear the red-backed shrike singing in the bush where the nightingale previously located. Perhaps it was the shrike nesting here who frightened off the nightingale. On the recording, the nightingale is still singing in the background surrounded by other birds.
Shrike morning calls with nightingale and multiple birds in the background:
The following short piece contains a bird trio of the shrike, warbler, and nightingale. The warbler that comes later has an alarm-like call that goes well with the chirping of the shrike who will soon be silent. The warbler and shrike are heard in the left channel while a nightingale, singing in the distance, fills the background.
Bird trio of shrike, warbler, and nightingale jamming together in the woods:
The final morning recording of this set features all the awakened winged inhabitants of the forest, including the woodpecker tapping at the trunks of pine trees and flying around the meadow. By this time, Ńrickets have fallen almost completely silent and are partially overshadowed by the morning bustle of many species of birds.
