Sound recording in a large clearing with fragrant herbs. The chirping of grasshoppers and a songbird on the outskirts of the forest. In the depths of the clearing, a strange crackling voice of corncrake (Crex crex) is heard. Recorded July 09 , 2024 on Tascam DR-05x, with post processing. Location: near the city of Ekaterinburg (Russia) Here you will find a sound recording with a corncrake at a very close distance: <a href="https://freesound.org/people/newlocknew/sounds/746333/" rel="nofollow">https://freesound.org/people/newlocknew/sounds/746333/</a> I ask you, if possible, to help this wonderful site (not me) stay afloat and develop further.
