The wren’s home forest is a lush sanctuary where sunlight filters through the leaves, and the forest floor carries the damp scent of moss. Among ancient spruces, young birches sway gently in the breeze, while a soft rustling hums through the treetops. The wren, small in size but mighty in voice, flits from branch to branch, filling the forest with its bright, melodious song. Its clear tune rings out like the joy of a summer’s day, shimmering in the air like sunlight dancing on a silvered water surface.

A summer day in my cuckoo's home forest. The green tops of the birch trees provide excellent places for the cuckoo to sing. The treetops are good for proclaiming the excellence of your forest to a neighbouring bird.

The blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) forest is lush and full of life. The soundscape is magnificent. An enjoyable listen.

The sympathetic boreal owl is a spring-winter mood creator in the Taiga forest. Unfortunately, the number of boreal owls is decreasing at an alarming rate, in line with the decline of old-growth forests. With the right luck, you may still be able to hear the atmospheric song of this small and sympathetic owl.

The morning soundscape in the forest is pleasant and soothing. The highlights of summer.

The tawny owl (Strix aluco) is a great creator of spring-time atmosphere. If you are lucky to get a pair of tawny Owls to nest near your home, you can enjoy their rather loud noises all summer long.

Song of starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is one of the great moments of spring. The skilful song, full of imitations, will delight homeowners from March onwards.

Early summer deciduous forest. Overflowing greenery everywhere. Birdsong, warmth and the smells of summer.

Pigeons are unrivalled creators of atmosphere. In this recording, a wood pigeon coos in its nesting forest on a May morning. Great moments of spring.

Summer rain is pleasant to listen to. The rain intensifies the scents of the forest and inspires birds to sing. Great summer moments.

I made this recording at the beginning of June last year. The calm and warm days of early summer are the best treatment for humans after a long winter. The light and warmth of the sun, the buzz of bumblebees in blossom and the peaceful singing of birds make the moment unforgettable. I like these moments and they should be savoured.
