One Hour Forest Soundscape From Alam​-​Pedja Nature Reserve, Estonia

The soundscape was recorded on May 14, 2020. Recording starts a few minutes before 6 a.m. Birds clearly distinguishable are Song Thrush, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Willow Warbler, Common Chaffinch, Wood Pigeon, Bumblebee(not a bird though). Black grouse can be heard in the background in the first half and Cuckoo in the second half of the recording. More careful listening Wood warbler, Great Tit, Green Sandpiper, Goldcrest, Eurasian Siskin, Great Grey Owl and others are heard. At different moments of the recording, it is heard how male Grey-headed woodpecker builds a nest inside the trunk of a large Aspen. Such a gentle singing constant tapping. For example, at the 4th, 31th minute and beyond it can be heard. I noticed that the bird is inside a tree and comes out from time to time to mate with his partner and scare away the Great spotted woodpecker feeding nearby.
