NEW YEAR´S EVE INSIDE A NESTING BOX

January 2011
In most countries, people welcome the new year with fireworks. In different
cultures it has different traditional backgrounds, who even found their way into
the phonography community as recordings.

Like many other people, I wonder what this tradition has for implications for the
birds (or animals in general), living in our backyards, parks or buildings. In my
backyard I had installed a few nestboxes for smaller songbirds. In winter, some
of them are trying to beware of coldness inside those. The following recording is
made inside in one of these nestboxes with DPA 4061 mics at 31th December
2010, 23:52:30h.
