Nature Sound World

A cool spring morning in the lakeside forest is quiet and misty. The moisture of the night still lingers in the air, and droplets of water fall slowly from the branches to the ground. The sun begins to peek cautiously over the horizon, reflecting as a silvery shimmer on the lake's surface. The birdsong begins in harmony with the sun's first rays.

A light spring rain patters on the water's surface. The air is fresh and carries the scent of spring. Swans glide calmly forward, water beading on their feathers. One lifts its neck and lets out a powerful, trumpet-like call, to which the other responds. The rain keeps up its steady drumming as the pair of swans moves slowly across the pond.

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.

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

Imagine yourself in a dark autumn forest. Complete silence, only the moon's soft light with you. Suddenly the darkness is cut by a maniacal laughter...

The eagle owl was recorded in October on a gorgeous quiet night as the moon lit up the leafless forest.
