The world of Swamphens

1 sound

You will hear the swamphen’s call, walking in the water, walking in the grass, scratching their bodies and other birds flying over your head. This was recorded at dawn when the swamphens are active. There were some swamphens and lots of other birds at the lake. The microphone was placed at about the same height as the swamphen. The sound between 1 kHz and 4 kHz, which is thought to be the sensitive frequency for birds, was increased.
