This recording was made in June 22, 2003. The bird, Acrocephalus palustris, is not
very common in Sweden, still you can usually get some opportunity to record him
around Midsummers Eve, preferably at midnight. He is mostly unaware of what is
happening around him and you can easily come close. The distance here was about
5 meters, which was absolutely necessary considering heavy traffic by cars only 200
meters away. The use of a parabol was imperative. I used a Stereo DATmic microphone
and a PRO5B handle connected to a Tascam DA-P1.

Modem users: I'm sorry for the file-size. The recording is 2.35 min long and needed
to be sampled at a high bit rate.

All the best,
Klas.
