Birds, insects and frogs

Sep 16, 2023, 11:01 AM

"This was recorded in our rice paddy. Super muddy and will steal your sandals given half a chance! The rice had just been harvested so it was full of birds and insects foraging, mating and just having fun. Right now the sound is changing to a heavy duty frog chorus as the paddies are being flooded for a second harvest. Nothing stands still here. Over the past few days I have encountered two golden tree snakes, a cobra and a python, big and small scorpions, frogs in the bathroom, herons, moorhens, squirrels, rats and our chickens have had three more chicks."

Recorded by Alex Boyesen.
